Tarantula by Thierry Jonquet

Tarantula

Thierry Jonquet

Just who is the spider and who is the prey? This brief noir thriller is more complicated than any web - and the constant switches between different times and between different narrators only pile on the confusion. Definitely not for the squeamish, but if you like Grand Guignol (and think Dr Phibes rather than Dr Jekyll) - go for it.
