«Tarántula» is the crime novel by Thierry Jonquet, published by Ediciones B (Adultos Antiguo imprint) in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The novel brings together a plastic surgeon who keeps an enigmatic young woman captive, a teenager admitted to a psychiatric hospital, a criminal wounded after a robbery, and a missing motorcyclist. A traumatic past connects their stories in a tangle of desire and violence, and it served as the basis for Pedro Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In.
This Spanish edition, translated by Teresa Clavel Lledó, was published in 2003. The novel originally appeared in French under the title Mygale and belongs to the Afluentes collection.
For readers of crime fiction and thrillers who enjoy dark plots and unsettling atmospheres.
