Many years before [[2016]], a [[female bone spider]] fell through a [[Coal Hill Space-Time Rift|tear in space-time]] and ended up in [[Alice Parsons' house]]. The spider remained invisible but showed herself to save Alice from falling down the stairs. They became unlikely friends. In [[2015]], the spider gave birth to a [[baby bone spider|baby]]. Shortly after that, Alice died. Playing, the baby spider crawled into her coffin and, unseen, was taken with the coffin to her crypt. The mother remained in the house desperate to find her child, trying to send it a message.
Bone spiders were huge white spider-like creatures of bleached bone. They had eight legs, eight white eyes and distended abdomen. Unlike Earth spiders, their eyes had eyelids that closed with a bone tick resembling a camera shutter. Bone spiders possessed scary fangs.


A young teenage [[Syria]]n refugee [[Amira]] sensed these messages and hid in the house from the her smugglers. Without showing herself, the spider did not let Amira out of the house and hid her from prying eyes, providing her with safety for the first time since she fled Syria. Amira occasionally removed the protective webbing, and was once seen in the window by [[Tanya Adeola]]. After Tanya decided to investigate, the mother spider trapped her in the house too. After uncovering the truth, the [[Coal Hill defenders]] found the baby spider and returned it to the mother. Both spiders remained in the house until such time when it would be possible to return them to their home planet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Stone House (novel)|The Stone House]]'')

Bone spiders were sentient arachnids.

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Bone spiders were huge white spider-like creatures of bleached bone. They had eight legs, eight white eyes and distended abdomen. Unlike Earth spiders, their eyes had eyelids that closed with a bone tick resembling a camera shutter. Bone spiders possessed scary fangs.

Abilities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Bone spiders could make dreams, memories and fears tangible, down to the smells. They could not distinguish between good dreams and nightmares. A touch of a person the nightmare originated from turned it into dust.

The spiders could not talk but could communicate by dreamweaving images and scenes.

Bone spiders could also create a thin layer of web around a person that would make them invisible and inaudible to others. Two individuals both rendered invisible, however, could communicate to each other and see and hear the rest of the world without difficulty. Even so, the spiders could conceal themselves also from people rendered invisible. The visibility could be restored by cleaning the spiderwebs away, but it took a lot of time.

Their spiderwebs of bone spiders could also be visible and as thick as football socks. They could be spun very quickly and prevent doors and windows from opening. They were also used to quickly cocoon a person completely immobilising them.

Individual representatives[[edit] | [edit source]]

A female bone spider fell through a tear in space-time and lived in Alice Parsons' house at least since the 1990s. In 2015 she gave birth to a baby. (PROSE: The Stone House)
