In Spidersilk the novel, multiverses play a huge role in the story. The main character Mark hails from another dimension as do the intruders that attack Mark’s friends. Theories about multiverse have been around for quite some time, but they are changing often. More recently, a theory was published that there is a parallel universe that runs time backwards. Fascinating? Check out the theory here: http://www.iflscience.com/physics/there-parallel-universe-thats-moving-backwards-time

“A small breeze delivered a wisp of dust and grass in the otherwise clean smelling air. It was almost as if something was responding to his discovery.”- Spidersilk the novel

Symbolism is a beautiful part of the literary world and Spidersilk the novel has ample examples of it. One such example is the golden moth that is seen by Mark, the main character, when he witnesses a hyena. The moths are seen to symbolize many different things. Some believe that it’s a departed loved one paying a visit. This could exemplify the grandfather Mark mentions in the story. The moth is also known to symbolize other worldliness, secret knowledge and psychic awareness. The color gold also brings many different meanings, such as enlightenment. All of this plays into the symbolism of the hyena and the message that Mark got from the sighting! For more on moth symbolism check out this site:

In Spidersilk the novel, Spiders play a big role in protecting Mark, the main character, and his friends. Spiders play a major role in the mythology of many different cultures. For example, in some variations of the Old Testament, a spider actually protected David from soldiers sent by King Saul to defeat him. The spider created a fresh web over its cave so the soldiers wouldn’t think to look in the cave. This is slightly reminiscent of how the Spiders worked to help out Mark. Of course, there’s a lot of other legends and myths about spiders, so check out this cool link: http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/samhaintraditions/a/Spider-Mythology-And-Folklore.htm
