Cult of the Spider Queen

Arkham Horror Series

By: S A Sidor

Narrated by: Todd Menesses

An ancient horror deep in the Amazon jungle spins a web of nightmares to ensnare adventurers, explorers, and their souls in this skin-crawling Arkham Horror novel of cosmic dread.

When Arkham Advertiser reporter Andy van Nortwick receives a mysterious film reel in the mail, with a simple note: "Maude Brion is very much alive!", he steps onto a path which will lead him to the brink of madness. Brion, the famous actress and film director, vanished a year ago on an ill-fated expedition into the Amazon rainforest, delving into the legend of the Spider Queen. Thrilled by the prospect of his big break, Nortwick swings the funds to launch a rescue mission. He gathers a team of explorers and a keen folklorist to bring back Brion and cement his reputation. But deep in the Amazon jungle, the boundaries between intrepid adventurers, dreamers, and deranged fanatics blur inside a web of terror.

ARKHAM HORROR AT ITS BEST! A SUPER BOOK AND PREQUEL TO LAIR OF THE CRYTAL FANG THAT SEE SOME WELL KNOW FANTASY FLIGHT ARKHAM HORROR INVESTIGATORS TRAVEL ON AN EXPEDITION TO THE AMAZON.SOMEGOOD PULP FOR H.P. LOVECAFT FANS WITH AN ELDER GOD FROM THE MYTHOS AT ITS HEART

A fun, two hour romp that’s eight hours too long.

As the title suggests, this book would be fun if it was eight hours shorter. If you’re interested in a ten hour slog where everything takes three times as long as it should, and you barely see anything from the Lovecraft mythos let alone a spider queen, then this one’s for you. If not, listen to one that’s better and shorter.
