The town of Whittier is isolated in Alaska and the people all live within towers once used by the military. The tourist season is over and winter is on the way. Then a body washes up on shore. A body that says it's from the government facility across the sound at Esther Island. With a storm coming, the citizens of Whittier have to deal with this on their own. They put the body in the basement of the towers, but their doctor wants to find out what killed this man. Was it a disease? How dangerous is it?
Then the horror begins.

This is my first time reading the author. I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the book is. Let's be brutally honest, the cover isn't the best and I don't like the weird spelling of the title. However, the blurb intrigued me so I gave it a go. I really enjoyed S.P.I.D.A.R. It's a pretty decent horror yarn. I loved the idea of an isolated community being infiltrated and attacked by something terrible. I love those kinds of books. S.P.I.D.A.R. was a fun yet horrifying read. I really hate spiders so there were some moments when I felt very unsettled and relieved the book is fiction. Don't be put off by the less-than-perfect presentation because this is a good horror story.
