A previously unknown translation of an ancient grimoire, the Darkhold, has been unearthed by archaeologists in South America. But this chilling discovery will have far-reaching effects. Halfway across the globe, the Darkhold is relentlessly pursued by the Cabal of Scrier, an organization devoted to achieving ultimate power through whatever means necessary. And it is through their actions that a darkness from beyond the grave will return to haunt the Spectacular Spider-Man in the form of one of the most frightening and dangerous foes he's ever encountered....

I previously did a bad review.

OK, like the title says, I previously did a bad review. Writing it right after I was finished with the audiobook and really didn't let it set in. This time though thinking about it I can say. I enjoyed it more than I originally thought and it really made me think of the 1990 Spider-Man Animated Series. It really follows those story verbatim. So if you enjoyed the Spider-Man Animated series I would recommend this book.

This was Spider-Man?

Hear me out... I’m pretty sure the author just re-skinned one of his previously written thrillers.

Spider-Man didn’t act like Spider-Man. There was nearly no need for it to have even been him. Could have been anyone at all.

This was dark. Very dark. And I don’t mind dark. But either this writer has never read a Spider-Man comic, or this wasn’t originally supposed to be a Spider-Man novel.
