Spider's Gambit: A Horror Science Fantasy (The Drambish Contaminate Trilogy Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

Checkmate equals death... and those are stakes she accepts!.

As one of the last survivors of a race of shape-shifting spiders, her will to survive and her
lust for revenge both point to the same strategy—exterminate her enemies before they find her. For the Spider Queen, friends are hard to come by, and her one-time victim Count Darith may be her only hope.

Darith Cortanis lost almost everything when he became entangled in Silvia's scheming. Now, his former enemy could help him win back what he prizes most:
his wife. Held captive by the Brothel and her own mind, she is worth any sacrifice. Although their paths run together… loyalty among adversaries can be fleeting.

Their final gambit pulls friends and enemies alike onto the board. The pieces are moving, but will the Queen be left standing? In a game of strategy, it pays to think about the long run.

You’ll love this grimdark science fiction because it’s a playful romp through dark forbidden territory.

Buy Spider's Gambit now to continue your journey in this blended world of sci-fi and horror.

Hi. My name is Jesse and I’m a compulsive writer.

I can’t help it. I write prolifically. I write because I must! And luckily for you, my dear reader, the stories never stop.

What do I write?

I write fantasy because the world we live in can feel like a trap.

I write sci-fi because I like to toy with worlds, universes, and cultures. I like to play god. I write horror as a kind of decadence. I mean, who doesn’t like writing that bleeds?

Regardless of what type of speculative fiction I write, you can expect that it will be dark. Whether my inspiration comes from a shiver crawling up my spine while darting across a dark parking lot, a fascination with Gothic heroines and their delightful kidnappability, or a desire to build a world to suit a spiffy MMO character, that dark undercurrent of fear makes me feel alive.

So, if you enjoy science fiction and fantasy with an eye to horror, join my readers group at JesseSprague.com.

I’d love to have you along for special sneak-peeks, cover reveals, free stories, and more! Just to show how special you are to me, I’ll start you off with an exclusive short story!

    Characters I thought I hated, now I can’t help but root for them! And we get some new characters to fear and love! Dear, sweet Marim... please hold on a little longer!
    I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys grimdark stories with characters in shades of gray. You’ll never look at spiders the same way again!
