An ancient horror deep in the Amazon jungle spins a web of nightmares to ensnare adventurers, explorers, and their souls in this skin-crawling Arkham Horror novel of cosmic dread.
When Arkham Advertiser reporter Andy van Nortwick receives a mysterious film reel in the mail, with a simple note: "Maude Brion is very much alive!", he steps onto a path which will lead him to the brink of madness. Brion, the famous actress and film director, vanished a year ago on an ill-fated expedition into the Amazon rainforest, delving into the legend of the Spider Queen. Thrilled by the prospect of his big break, Nortwick swings the funds to launch a rescue mission. He gathers a team of explorers and a keen folklorist to bring back Brion and cement his reputation. But deep in the Amazon jungle, the boundaries between intrepid adventurers, dreamers, and deranged fanatics blur inside a web of terror.

      A talented cast beautifully re-creates an old-time radio drama about an ambitious reporter and a strange group seeking gold and a missing silent film actress in the deep, dark Amazon jungle of the 1920s. Narrator Ken Jackson knows how to craft a story and lure listeners into the web of intrigue. Kimberly Gilbert dominates as the resourceful Ursula, matched by Holly Adams as the equally determined Iris. Both characters have different reasons for participating in the dangerous quest. Listeners must suspend disbelief and accept a world of monsters, black magic, and silent-film-era glamour. Replete with realistic sound effects, the production creates an entire universe of greed, insanity, and sorcery in the imagination. M.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
