Brian Gerard is scared

Julie, his wife, lies drugged and apathetic in a hospital up north, but he feels her presence, her perverse hatred, whenever he practices the self-hypnotic discipline that used to bind them so deeply. Julie believed it was a true telepathic link--but there was never any proof. All they could ever remember was the clarity and peacefulness that Brian, alone, has lost.

Desperate to pay Julie's hospital bills, Brian has taken a teaching job in Florida. Free use of the decaying house of a deceased faculty member was an unexpected bonus.

The only drawback is the golden spiders that infest the property, spiders native to distant South America. With the passing days the spiders grow even larger, far beyond their natural size.

Something is closing in on Brian Gerard.
