Hotel Tarantula (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483408156)

An arachnophobic woman plagued by nightmares about spiders since she was little attempts to feign a normal existence while working a mundane job. But no matter how hard she tries, eight-legged shadows lurk in the recesses of her mind, torturing her and sending her spiraling downward into the abyss of lunacy. When an encounter with a tarantula triggers a psychotic break, she lands in a halfway house inhabited by others whose broken psyches insinuate themselves into her slow climb out of hell. Bisecting these threads are the messages of Tarantula Woman, who enters through the cracks in her psyche to whisper wisdom and guide her through her own subconscious. As her history is recast, her housemates redefine the meaning of lucidity and Tarantula Woman continues to tease, push, and enlighten her. Hotel Tarantula is a story of extreme phobia as a young woman is forced to rely on the spidery voice inside her head for insight as she attempts to claw her way back to sanity.
