This is no run-of-the-mill hard-boiled thriller. The decor is by Dali, the plot is a mixture of Breton and Burroughs, and the main character – the protean and unkillable Spider Rembrandt – has six toes, sleeps in a grave and dreams of congress with the pert and playful Reedy Buttons. A surrealist film-noir that blends the forensic with the erotic, the seedy penny-dreadful and the lyric prose-poem, Mystery in Spiderville cannot be pigeon-holed or summarized: it is one of the strangest, strongest and most arresting fictional debuts in years.
