About This Book

A skeptical journalist and his friend, an optical researcher, test a pair of experimental glasses that reveal luminous, web-like filaments stretched across the night sky. The researcher becomes convinced the filaments are giant, invisible arachnids threatening humanity, while the journalist struggles between rationalism and alarm. The tale mixes newspaper noir with speculative horror, probing perception, paranoia, and how the discovery of an unsettling unseen reality can erode sanity and social trust.
