Some secrets should stay buried.

Architect Arania Webb returns to Bristol Zoo — once her childhood sanctuary, now a derelict ruin — and discovers her late father's hidden underground lab. Inside, his journals document twisted experiments to fuse arachnid DNA with humans.

With demolition charges set to raze the zoo in minutes, Arania has little time to process the madness that drove her father down an unholy path before the truth is buried forever.

A short story by J.F. Penn. Available as ebook and audiobook.
