Spider Season is the debut collection of 10 dark stories by Billy Hanson, with stunning illustrations by Karl Slominski. Deeply haunting and immensely enjoyable, these stories are sure to leave you wide-eyed and short of breath. Stories include: Light Sleeper, The Clearing, The End of Edgar Wren, Nylah's Magic, Electric Detective, The Red Helping Hand, She Was Perfect, Paris With The Lights Turned Low, Music From the Gun Room, and Everyone Else is Asleep.

A man obsessed with his own death, a sleep-deprived husband, a violently jealous teenager, and a businesswoman on a lethal trip to Europe are just a few of the characters from Billy Hanson's dark vision of the world in Spider Season.

Here, the danger looms within every stranger, co-worker, close friend, family member, and often within your own mind. This chilling collection explores the shadowy corners of the human psyche, where delusion, rage, and paranoia can thrive. Grim fantasy and nightmarish realities collide, monsters and men are one in the same, and daily life can suddenly turn to bloody horror.

Because when Spider Season comes around, fear is everywhere.
