Spider's Big Catch

About the Book

Just as he did in his first book, Spider’s Night on the Boom, Gary Anderson takes aim at the both the heart strings and the funny bone in this new collection of stories from one of the Midwest’s premiere humorists. With his latest batch of stories, Anderson turns his unique blend of humor and poignancy to subjects as diverse as the importance of keeping promises to children, the incredible “Don’t Boil Over” diet, the intricacies of Quantum Fishing, and how to get free if you ever find yourself hanging upside down by a boot heel from the top of an eight-foot chain link fence. The laughter and tears will flow as Anderson gently guides you through these forty tales of the silly and sublime.
