Tales Spider
In which Sherlock Holmes story did the killer use a giant spider to scare victims to death?
I recall reading a Sherlock Holmes tale where the villain sent a huge Central American tarantula up apartment stovepipes to scare people to death upon seeing it crawl out of their kitchen stove. Which story was this?
Thanks
i can pretty reliably say that this did not happen in any authentic sherlock holmes story (i've read the entire collection a few times). however, many people over the years have imitated doyle's stories; you may have been reading one of these imitations.
actually, i just found it: it's called "the adventure of the brown box" by denis o. smith, and it can be found in a collection of "new" sherlock holmes stories called "the game's afoot."
