Spider Seeds

By David Tocher

The past doesn't just haunt you.
Sometimes, it takes root...

Madison "Maddy" Perth has spent years outrunning the trauma of her youth. Now a successful novelist living alone in a high-rise condo, she believes she has finally built a quiet life beyond the cruelty and humiliation that once defined her.

Then she brings home a strange houseplant.

An arachnid, savage and insidious, is hidden within its foliage. As a strange terror begins spreading through her condo, Maddy realizes she is no longer safe in her own home. The halls grow oppressive. The rooms feel wrong. Even the silence begins to feel alive. What first seemed unsettling soon becomes a desperate struggle to survive something cruel and inhuman lurking just beyond her sight.

Spider Seeds is a gothic horror novel steeped in psychological suspense and supernatural dread, but beneath the terror is a deeply human story about shame, memory, and the scars people carry for years after the wounds were made.

The spider doesn't merely hunt.
It plants seeds in you...

"The horror is fresh, unsettling, and deeply personal. This isn't a book that simply scares. It sticks. It burrows into the mind, latching on with all the tenacity of its nightmarish antagonist.
