Dismissing things as ridiculous fear-mongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection--the creature stimulates skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure.
That's just as well, since the "cure" involves learning what a chainsaw tastes like. You can't feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You won't even feel it when it breeds.
And it will breed. Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. So begins The Hatching, the hair-raising saga of a single week in which an ancient, frighteningly predatory species of spider re-emerges in force.
When the unusual egg in Melanie Guyer's lab begins to vibrate and crack, she finds herself at the epicentre of this apocalyptic natural disaster. Working closely with her ex-husband and his very powerful boss, she has to find some way to stem the brutal tide of man-eating arachnids. Forster, John Gardner, and James Wood, Douglas Glover has produced a book on writing at once erudite, anecdotal, instructive, and amusing.
Attack of the Copula Spiders represents the accumulated wisdom of a remarkable literary career: novelist, short story writer, essayist, teacher and mentor, Glover has for decades been asking the vital questions.
How does the way we read influence the way we write? What do craft books fail to teach aspiring writers about theme, about plot and subplot, about constructing point of view? How can we maintain drama on the level of the sentence—and explain drama in the sentences of others? What is the relationship of form and art? How do you make words live? This collection is a call-to-arms for all lovers of English, and Attack of the Copula Spiders our best defense against the assaults of a post-literate age.
Douglas Glover is the award-winning author of five story collections, four novels, and two works of non-fiction.

The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars.

As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth? Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human. Hamilton, Britain's no. Clarke award. It is set in the same universe, with new characters and a thrilling narrative. It has been waiting through the ages.
Now it's time. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life — but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars.
They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth. But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed. And it is crisply modern - but with the sensibility of classic science fiction' Stephen Baxter, author of the Long Earth series with Terry Pratchett.

Only one thing is for sure—Gin has no qualms about killing her way to the top of the conspiracy. After inheriting a criminal empire, the twenty-three year-old finds herself under threat from all sides as a rogue's gallery of larger-than-life enemies think they smell weakness. On the eve of the world's most lavish and ridiculous Halloween celebration, a steamer trunk-sized box arrives at Zoey's door and she is shocked to find that it contains a disemboweled corpse.
She is even more shocked when that corpse, controlled by an unknown party, rises and goes on a rampage through the house. Speaking in an electronic voice, it publicly accuses Zoey of being its murderer. This is the kind of thing that almost never happened at her old job. The city was already a ticking time bomb of publicity-hungry vigilantes with superhuman enhancements and Zoey knows this turn of events is unlikely to improve the situation.
