Wells was originally published in 1903 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'The Valley of the Spiders' is a short story about a group of men who encounter an unstoppable swarm of arachnids. Herbert George Wells was born in Bromley, England in 1866. He apprenticed as a draper before becoming a pupil-teacher at Midhurst Grammar School in West Sussex. Some years later, Wells won a scholarship to the School of Science in London, where he developed a strong interest in biology and evolution, founding and editing the Science Schools Journal. However, he left before graduating to return to teaching, and began to focus increasingly on writing. It was in 1895 that Wells seriously established himself as a writer, with the publication of the now iconic novel, The Time Machine. Wells followed The Time Machine with the equally well-received War of the Worlds (1898), which proved highly popular in the USA. The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. From its roots in cryptozoology, this genre features bizarre, fantastical, and often terrifying tales of mythical and legendary creatures. Whether it be giant spiders, werewolves, lake monsters, or dinosaurs, the Cryptofiction Classics series offers a fantastic introduction to the world of weird creatures in fiction.

This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These early works by various authors were originally published in the late 19th century and early 20th century and we are now republishing them with a brand new introduction as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'Weird Tales of Creepy Crawlies' contains a collection of short stories about mysterious insects and arachnids, and includes 'The Strong Spider' by Edgar Allan Poe (1846), 'The Messenger' by Robert W. Chambers (1897), 'The Empire of the Ants' by by H. G. Wells (1905), and many more. The stories in this collection were mostly written around the turn of the century. And most of them reflect what has been a pretty consistent human reaction to insects, as evidenced throughout the literary tradition – fascination and disgust, in equal measure. Despite the Romantics' best efforts, the perception of insects as repulsive, threatening and unclean – the carriers of pestilence and plague in the bible; the exemplifiers of foulness in Shakespeare – has never quite gone away. The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London.

Wells 1903 short story "The Valley of the Spiders" is somewhat short, slightly nonsensical, and more than a little anti-climatic, but considering it contains two of my favorite things - spiders and classic era weird tales - I felt it was worth writing at least a short article about.The story concerns a group of three men tracking what may be a runaway slave girl and her friends in what may be some semblance of the Old West. They arrive in a valley that appears to quite dead when they first encounter a snake, then a wild dog, and finally a wild boar running from, apparently, the breeze. Soon enough they discover it is not the wind that the beasts fear, but rather what it carries - the web-balloons of some species of giant, poisonous, and highly aggressive spiders. From there we follow the short trials of the men as they attempt to escape and make sense of what they've seen.Clocking in at just over ten pages the narrative of The Valley of the Spiders doesn't do too much, and honestly, the whole piece comes across as a scientific paper gone pulp. More or less the story concerns the practice of spiders (common, smaller spiders rather than tarantulas and other large arachnids) of "ballooning", that being creating an umbrella of silk and using the wind to transport young spiders to farther places than they could travel otherwise. This is a real practice that is easily seen anywhere spiders inhabit on warm summer days, and honestly enough does create kind of a neat scenario for a weird tale were it fleshed out slightly more, and perhaps the horror played at rather than the slave trade angle Wells seemed to be going for.- Aaron
