About Crypt of the Moon Spider
In 1923, Veronica Brinkley arrives at the lunar Barrowfield Home for Treatment of the Melancholy, where Dr Barrington Cull’s acclaimed therapy implants strands of sacred spider silk directly into patients’ brains. The silk comes from a colossal moon spider once worshipped for its power, and the treatment begins to alter far more than Veronica’s troubled thoughts. Trapped inside the clinic, she must confront the horror growing within its walls—and within herself.
