With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, Spider is a tale of horror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying style lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "Patrick McGrath has crafted a riveting novel of madness, motherhood, and murder-an entirely plausible vision of what psychotic illness looks like from the inside-the bizarre distortions of memory, perception, and feeling-framed within a spellbinding novel of intricate formal design. Spider is a strange and lonely figure who returns to the East End of London after an absence of twenty years. He moves into the garret room of a seedy boardinghouse run by the indominable Mrs. Wilkinson, and there, in the long hours of the night, he begins to write an account of his childhood in nearby Kitchener Street. He introduces us to his father, Horace, a plumber who takes up with a boisterous blonde prostitute called Hilda, and graphically describes the devastation this affair wreaks on his long-suffering mother, who one night comes upon Horace and Hilda in flagrante in the shed at the bottom of the vegetable garden. The psychic repercussions of what happened next have haunted him from that day forward, and as these past events invade and overwhelm the present, he records the erosion of his fragile grip on reality." 221 pages. Mild spotting to top edges. Slight rubbing to DJ cover. MYLAR COVER PROTECTED. LF. …
