Sterling Wesson | 4 comments Looking for a book about a man on death row who talks to a spider to keep him company, I think the book was in spiderman homecoming somewhere but don't remember. I don't know what year it would be published in sadly.

I mean TECHNICALLY I'm still looking but I don't expect any more traction on this post

Rainbowheart | 28946 comments I'm sure this is totally wrong, but I had to throw it out there. Any chance you're vaguely remembering Kiss of the Spider Woman?

Sterling Wesson | 4 comments Hmm I don’t think so. I distinctly remember it being something about a spider keeping a man company in prison.

This is why we recommend people bump their posts every few months. New members will read it.

Danielle Hein | 7 comments From Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki "Later, she was reading Invitation to a Beheading, by Vladimir Nabokov, a novel in which a condemned man awaits his execution, accompanied only by a spider in his cell"

Rickie | 121 comments I can't remember how much he talked to it, but I do remember that he ate a spider because he couldn't think of another way to bring it back to his time for examination.
