Spider

About the Book

This book is dedicated to all the people out there who hate spiders being anywhere near them and who can’t stand the thought of them crawling on them. They know nothing of the types of spiders or what their bite might do to them, and therefore, they think all are deadly! Not all spiders are deadly, but when you believe they are descendants of the spider family and you meet people as described in this book, they are the most dangerous in the world. They can inhabit any neighborhood—hopefully not yours. But then again, who knows?
