Spider is gaunt, threadbare, unnerved by everthing from his landlady to the smell of gas. He tells us his story in a storm of beautiful language that slowly reveals itself as a fiendishly layered construnction of truth and illusion. With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, SPIDER is a tale of horror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying style lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.[Taken from the back cover]

I picked this up after watching the movie. I wanted to go deeper into the character's head and wasn't disappointed. This is really a unique experience for any reader.

Rating deleted. I can't in good conscience keep ratings for books by any of the 204 writers who signed the letter protesting the award for courage PEN gave to Charlie Hebdo. Such willful obtuseness by writers, of all people, toward freedom of expression is very troubling.
