The Agony & the Hex-stasy
Carnival is just around the corner, so New Orleans is enjoying the last gasps of the off-season. It should be a quiet time in the French Quarter, but nothing is ever truly quiet on Bourbon Street.
When a man and woman walking home from dinner are attacked by a monster, Zach Sully and Ofelia Archer are called to the scene. The man is dead, killed in an instant, and the woman is shaken. She also happens to be Sully’s ex-girlfriend.
As Ofelia looks into things—monsters are her specialty after all—disturbing stories start to emerge. People who look like humans but have shadows that resemble spiders are taking over the Quarter…and they’re not friendly.
The deeper Ofelia and Sully dig, the weirder things get. It seems the spider people were here before, only to disappear in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
What did they want then? Ofelia.
What do they want now? It seems she’s still at the top of the list.
Sully’s past is chasing him and his future is in danger. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep Ofelia safe. There’s just one little problem. The spiders are willing to use him to get to Ofelia. He’ll be the sacrifice spun in their web.
It’s all hands on deck for another massive showdown. Who will come out victorious? There’s only one way to find out.
