Description

From Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hank Schwaeble, Normal for the Spider is a spine-tingling thriller that will keep readers hooked to the very last page.

Sienna Shaw is an apex predator. She kills without remorse when it suits her purposes, steals from those she judges undeserving of what they have, lives by her own set of rules. Just don’t call her a serial killer. She knows what she is and what she always will be—a survivor whose governing creed is simple: Trust no one.

Or so Sienna believes, until the day she encounters a shadowy group that calls itself the Book Club. A small, well-funded, highly secret society united by their shared taste for the macabre and a desire to instill fear among entrepreneurs, industrialists, politicians—any who imagine themselves in charge of civilization—to remind them who is really at the top of the food chain. Sienna soon finds herself as a reluctant guest on a remote and supposedly haunted island where the Book Club plans to unleash hell upon its next target and usher in a new chapter of its terroristic mission.

But not even Sienna is prepared for the tangled web of betrayal and horror that awaits, or the very real monsters that will be let loose—including ones that may have been present all along.
