Author’s Summary: It is 2005 in Great Britain, and an invasion of venomous spiders has hit the country. Hitchhiking’ in imported food, the spiders are able to thrive in the changing climate. At first, coverage of the attack is overlooked in favor of world events, but soon the spiders begin to take over. They cover everything they come across in gigantic webs and kill everything in sight. Their favorite food? Humans. Immune to insecticides and pesticides, the spiders multiply and take over towns and villages, spreading outwards from the London sewers. Dire consequences ensue for many residents of Great Britain as they fight to keep the killer spider epidemic under control. Soon everyone is affected, and all still-living residents are made to evacuate their homes. As the spiders spread, so does the havoc they wreak and the numbers they violently kill. |
Review: I loved this story immensely – it has distinct properties of a Science Fiction/Creature style movie of the long since forgotten era. It was very creative and completely vivid keeping my mind in turmoil during the entire read.
Killer Spiders is basically about an Entomologist and a few researchers that discover this type of crazy spiders (ooh I loath spiders too). One of the Scientists studies this deadly species and finds out that there not from the local territories but across state lines. The group soon try to eradicate the hairy creatures but the Scientists aren’t as smart as they look, as when they try to exterminate them, the spiders spread out into different groups keeping their survival intact, and protecting their new queen to continue onwards creating havoc in the city.
The thing about these ferocious spiders is that – all it takes is one venomous bite, which paralyzes the human body and causes a slow and painful death. During the amuck, a lone person (kept anonymous) has the fortitude to locate the leader before the birth of more deadly soldiers in the arsenal of already there being an overrun population of scary, freaky, haunting spiders about the lay of the land.
Killer Spiders is available to purchase at better book stores all over the world. The lowest price I came across for the Paperback is $13.52 at The Book Depository, a great, and not well-known book store. As a bonus, if you don’t mind reading a PDF on your computer, or if you have a Kindle or Tablet you can get the Electronic Version or E-Book Version for free. This is an outstanding book that I highly recommend to all. It has all facets of traditional horror that we have all come to love over the years. Not counting, those dark nightmares thinking there is a spider in your bed!!! This novel will have you finishing it in a flash, and it’s a longer book too, which I always like. It keeps your mind wandering after its finished. Put very, very, very simply, get this book today, you won’t be disappointed. My ratings, suggestions and links are below.
