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.
