Kingdom of the Spiders
by Bernhardt J. HurwoodThe Invasion... Walter Colby was a rancher and farmer, not an expert on giant arachnids whose behavior patterns confounded Diane Ashley, a recognized scientist. How then could Colby even begin to suspect anything about the altered nesting habits of these creatures that had invaded his property and ravaged his livestock? How could he know that even as he stood there battalions of spiders were scurrying to safety down tunnels, making their way through a maze-like network of passageways beneath the sandy Arizona soil. At that very moment, before the flames had completely died down, trapdoors were springing open just beyond Colby's line of sight, and spiders were crawling out-thousands upon thousands of them- their venomous jaws working back and forth, their appetites growing by the hour.

Kingdom of the Young: Stories
by Edie MeidavAmbitious, original, deliciously philosophical. Kingdom of the Young invites comparison to the crônicas of Clarice Lispector and the fabulas of Italo Calvino. —Carolyn Cooke, author of Daughters of the RevolutionThe dynamic characters in Kingdom of the Young are searching: for adventure, work, love, absolution, better chances elsewhere. In a symphonic stream of consciousness, a fanatical child army loses faith in its commander as he ages unforgivably into his thirties. A woman possessed with wanderlust and a small inheritance seeks love among the cave-dwelling Roma in Granada. Traumatized war veterans run local rackets; smarmy bureaucrats rise through the ranks of repressive regimes; civilians attempt to escape the stranglehold of life under dictatorships. From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana, from hospital wards to quinceañera parties, these stories—along with the collection's illuminating nonfiction coda—testify to Meidav’s vast imaginative range.

As for his sister, Elodie, Tarlan’s convinced that she’s a traitor who betrayed the rebellion and her family just so she could have the throne to herself. With nothing left to believe in, Tarlan’s prepared to abandon both the cause and his pack of wild animals, and head north. But appearances can be deceiving. And in a world of magic and deceit, mistaking lies for truth can be deadly.

The village of Jespodar nestles in the foothills of a world-dominating mountain known to all as "The Wall."

The pilgrims seek to replicate the legendary journey of a distant ancestor who scaled the mountain and, so the story goes, met with the gods. The Pilgrimage is a a life journey, an overwhelming challenge and a sacred honor and Poilar feels blessed when he is finally chosen to lead it. But not all is as it first seems. Along the journey lie hazards of all kinds, both vilently dangerous and seductively beguiling and to triumph in the climb is to confront a revelation so surprising and so disturbing that none, not even the smartest and best prepared, are likely to survive. What belief and what devotion leads so many to hope for such a challenging task and what will be the ultimate result of such dedication? Only The Wall itself can reveal the destiny for those who undertake the Pilgrimage.
