the human sunset

I rate Your Basic Castle Spider a 5-star, thought provoking fiction. At least I hope it's fiction. Ms. North's novel has all the elements of fear, terror, compassion, and creepiness that most readers could personally relate to. It can make your skin crawl, or bleed, and bring and occasional tear.

I couldn't wait to see what would happen next in this page-turner about a team of scientists caught up in an investigation of a new super-species that could threaten human survival. The characters are well-developed and easy to relate to. The story is entertaining and also leaves you thinking--the author weaves together scientific facts to paint a picture of a potential future that seems a little too close to possible! If you like post-apocalyptic adventure, this is a great read.
