Book Description
A small town in Texas is overrun by a deadly swarm of spiders. There’s nowhere to run as they fall from the sky, taking over the area and wreaking fear-fueled havoc on the once peaceful town. A Mexican firefighter and a racist old man must set their differences apart as they go head to head with the terrifying creatures. Will they be able to meet eye to eye and come together to save the town from certain extinction at the grips of the deathly spiders? Can they stop the ever-growing spread of the creatures as they multiply in horrific fashion? Brimming with political undertones, a set of unlikely character’s stories begin to intertwine. From a pre-teen who immigrated from Mexico so they could get away from the spiders. To two brothers who accidentally immigrated into the town. The story is a horrifying thrill ride from beginning to the gasp-inducing end, as it will test the teamwork of four very different characters while they go to extremes in order to eradicate this chilling crisis. Expect destruction, horror and some of the most terrifying scenarios you can imagine as the lethal creatures fight back against humanity.
