8 Legs Up
Tim Sweeney, one of Jacksonville’s finest garbage collectors, finds a dead house spider under his bed and does what any red-blooded American man would do when stoned – he decides to try to bring it back to life. Of course, he manages to end his own in the process but finds himself unwittingly adopted by an ancient Native American goddess known as Grandmother Spider. This union plunges Tim headlong into a world of myth and legend for which he is ill prepared and that is ill prepared for him. He is, as it turns out, the catalyst for the end of the world. Half of the universe seems to relish the thought of destruction while the other half is trying to avoid it at all costs. Tim is simply trying to survive long enough to get a date with a hot librarian – well, that and keep from inadvertently blowing everything up.

This one is weird. The whole story dances between interestingly different and whacky.
It certainly is different, no doubt about that. Sometimes it did stretch the point of being interestingly different to over the top stupid too much for me.
However, the story as a whole was intriguing and kept me going.
If you're looking for something different this one might be for you. It's a bit whacky, it's quirkily funny and different. His next book is on my to read list, just because it's so different to the mainstream books out there.
