The Spider Army

Scream, Book 2

By: Jack Heath

Narrated by: Ben Smalley

Yvette lives in Axe Falls – a town of disappearances, terrifying visions and unusual events.

In Axe Falls, myths of the deadly blue-back spider are whispered. Everyone's heard about the painful bites, agonising screams, grotesque disfiguration and even disappearing victims.

So when an infestation locks down the school library, and the hospital begins to overflow with bite victims, Yvette begins to wonder ...

What's really lurking behind the bookshelves?

And will anyone survive long enough to find out?

Critic reviews

'Classic horror stories, complete with an outrageous cover to lure in the lover of a good old spooky yarn, these books with their black edged pages and short chapters are sure to be winners with younger readers ready for some scary adventures.'

‘Scream: The Spider Army by Jack Heath delivers the same level of creepiness, shocks and scares that Scream: The Human Flytrap did without the scream noise when you opened the cover.’ (ReadPlus)

'There are themes about friendship and family that help to make the stories more than just scary. They are not gory or violent and will be loved by those who like a scare.' (on the Scream series) (Australian Literacy Educators' Association)
