Bandersnatch is one of several villains/monsters to feature in my next novel, Hellikon, and is an homage, obviously, to XXXX’s creature of the same name.

Bandersnatch…
Eight legs moving in outlandish four-by-four syncopation.
A spider, yes, but huge – body and limbs shiny, slick, black.
Each leg tipped with a slicing keratin spur, hard and sharp as a bone knife.
Face: insipid, white and – horror! – human.
Incomprehensible, reprehensible; an affront to the natural order.
This vile hybrid.
This abomination.
Hell spawn.
… Bandersnatch!
