Giant Spiders: Love. Good morning. You wake up and switch on the TV. It’s yakking in the background while you go on with your morning routine. A news program’s on, and you hear the presenter talking about spiders, city authorities, and invasion while you burn your toast. It sounds too Sci-Fi, and you don’t pay it too much attention. They’re probably talking about a new action movie. An hour later, you get into your car and switch on the radio. The reception is surprisingly weak, and you can only catch separate words – spiders, caution, unprecedented. Be careful at home until you start to feel nervous. What danger are they warning about?
8. The Start Of The Invasion



You’re driving through your neighborhood, heading for downtown. But just as you’re about to turn onto the main road, your foot hits the brakes while your mind goes blank. The creature is huge. Eight thick, hairy legs. Eight huge spherical eyes arranged in two rows, several of them as big as footballs. Well, there’s no denying it. The car-sized monster is a giant spider. Unfortunately, this discovery doesn’t make your brain spring back into action. You’re still rooted to the spot, watching the creature get closer and closer. You aren’t particularly afraid of spiders. You even used to have one as a child. But, dang, it wasn’t this big.
