Karl Chen and family were homeless and forced to move into a broken-down ranch house nestled in a canyon outside Tucson Arizona. Not only is the house trashed, boarded up and left to rot, it’s haunted.
Pretty hopeless, right?
Never!
Adventure hits Karl when he meets a talking spider and learns the ghost is an old witch from Romania. Karl teams up with Spider-Mary, once a girl. With only Vira’s magic book, their wits and bravery, Karl and Spider-Mary battle Vira, defend their canyon home, and attempt to return Mary to her human form.
