Spider Legs
by Piers Anthony
"Spider Legs"
A disturbing tale of our own world, and the strange creatures with whom we share it.It is well and truly said that there are more things under heaven and earth than there are almost anywhere else; true also that many of them lurk, unsuspected, far below the surface of the ocean.
For thousands of years, mankind has trusted in the sea's generosity while using it as a dumping ground, believing that in its vastness his garbage will be swallowed up and forgotten.
But that was never really true. And now, when the earth's hungry inhabitants demand more than even the ocean's endless bounty can provide, strange things are being born in the oceanice depths - strange things that the sea throws back upon the land...
The ultimate crustacean encounter.
