Books like Came a spider by Edward Levy
Edward Levy’s “Came a Spider” unfolds in Los Angeles, where a swarm of hand‑sized, hand‑handed monsters erupts from the dry hills.

The story tracks the creeping terror as they swarm, forcing the city to confront the consequences of its own environmental transgressions and the terrifying possibility that the next crisis might be closer to home than imagined.
