ARACHNID
A Scare at Bedtime Series
Marcus Webb just wanted to be somebody. The struggling travel vlogger saw the Amazon expedition as his last chance, to find an uncontacted tribe, document their story, and finally escape his failures. What he found instead was a nightmare beyond imagination.
When a rare flesh-eating spider crawls into his ear and lays thousands of eggs deep within his skull, Marcus unknowingly becomes Patient Zero in humanity's worst outbreak. He makes it home to the small Pennsylvania town of Millbrook, population 8,400, believing his ear infection is nothing serious.
He's wrong.
Two weeks later, the eggs hatch. Marcus dies screaming in a hospital emergency room as thousands of juvenile spiders pour from his body. But death is just the beginning. The spiders spread with terrifying speed, aggressive and intelligent, hunting with coordinated precision. Their venom doesn't just kill, it liquefies human tissue from the inside out, preparing victims to be consumed.
Within hours, Millbrook becomes a war zone. Within days, it's a graveyard.
The government's response is swift and brutal, total quarantine. Roads blocked. Communication cut. No one gets in. No one gets out. Eight thousand people are sealed inside with an apex predator that grows larger and smarter with each passing hour.
Among the trapped survivors is Sarah Webb, Marcus's sister, desperate to protect her nine-year-old diabetic son Tommy. As the spiders claim the town building by building, body by body, Sarah joins a handful of survivors fighting for their lives. Sheriff Tom Bradshaw. Pharmacist David Chen. Teacher Elena Martinez. Together they discover the spiders' weakness, but will it be enough?
Outside the perimeter, CDC scientist Dr. Amanda Foster watches the heat signatures of Millbrook's population dwindle. She knows the terrifying truth: if even one pregnant female escapes, the exponential reproduction rate could mean global extinction within three years. The math is simple, brutal, undeniable.
Arachnid is a relentless tale of body horror, government conspiracy, and the terrifying fragility of civilization when faced with an enemy that adapts faster than we can kill it. Part creature feature, part survival horror, part intimate family tragedy, this is a story that will make you check the shadows and remember: nature doesn't need to be supernatural to be terrifying.
It just needs to be hungry.
