Why read it?

1 author picked Crypt of the Moon Spider as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is so pulpy and so literary all at the same time. It's about a woman sent to a mental hospital on the moon...and at this mental hospital, a cult worships an ancient cosmic spider, and wow are there darker things going on beneath the surface! It's an alternate version of the 50s and people can totally breath on the moon, and I'm cool with that. Ballingrud's language is so beautiful and this novella is so insanely fast paced. If you love Weird dark speculative fiction, it's a perfect read.
