An MWA Grand Master and a multiple winner of the Edgar, Shamus, and Maltese Falcon awards, Lawrence Block’s reflections and observations come from over a half century as a writer of best-selling crime fiction. Several of his novels have been filmed, most recently A Walk Among the Tombstones, starring Liam Neeson.

The craft of writing is a lot like spinning a web: You take threads and weave them skillfully together, and only you know where this intricate network of twists and turns begin and how it will end. Now, with Lawrence Block's expert advice, you can learn this art of entrapping your reader in a maze of fascinating fiction. Spider, Spin Me a Web is the perfect companion volume to Block's previous book on writing, Telling Lies for Fun and Profit, which Sue Grafton noted "should be a permanent part of every writer's library".

In the 1980s, Lawrence Block developed an interactional seminar that adapted elements of the human potential movement specifically for writers. For several years, he and his wife, Lynne, traveled the country conducting seminars that focused on the inner game of writing and designed to enable participants to get out of their own way and put their best work on paper.

Betrayed by his woman and his best friend, Riley King tries to bounce back with a case that seems tame at first. But it soon develops into a dangerous journey against a madman bent on destroying new homes in the Lowcountry and a phantom sharpshooter who has targeted him for no apparent reason. A wrecking ball hangs over King as he attempts to bring justice to those who would destroy a pristine waterfront.

Strange noises that go bump in the night. Ghastly apparitions. Alligators and snakes. Riley King faces these horrors and more as he spends the night in a house the locals claim is haunted.
