Arachnophobia

Spiders. No no no no no no no.

It was this big. I swear.
It was this big. I swear.

Me: Horror is feeling a tickle on your thumb and looking down to see a spider crawling on it.

Ed: Did that happen?

Me: Yes.

Ed: To you?

Me: Yes.

Ed: Just now?

Me: Yes.

Ed: I apologize.

Me: Thank you. Now kill this earwig for me.

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
