Comment on Demon by Joe-Roberts
I am an arachnophobe. Nuff said (as Stan Lee has been known to say/write).
OK. That's not enough. Add this: My most common edge-of-sleep nightmares end with me waking up slamming my hand on the mattress to kill dream spiders. No, no drugs or drinking, just an ADHD/fiobrofoggy mind that has an entrenched fear of spiders. I've had too many close encounters with the vicious little creatures throughout my life, starting when, as a child, a wolf spider left a pit on my left arm that stayed till adulthood. *Yeeeesh* *shiverrrrr* Shades of "Deadly Blessing"! (Have you seen that one: sleeping girl with open mouth and spider descending?)
