This week I read the short stories of the trickster spider Anansi from the West African Folktales. I am thinking of crossing the story of Anansi with that of Shelob, a very large and very frightening spider from one of my favorite trilogies, The Lord of the Rings. Anansi's tricks are relatively harmless when compared with the single-minded killer Shelob. However, I believe that it would not be all that hard to put a really dark twist on the folktales that would better reflect the enormous predator.
