Description
The Horror in the Jungle of the Mind includes a brief examination of research, observations, and excerpts from my first fiction novel, The Ituri Secret. This novel presents an account of a six member team contracted by an American mining company. Their mission is to collect soil samples in an uncharted region of the rain forest.
Of the six teammates sent into the jungle, only one knows its secret known to the Forest people as J'ba FoFi (giant spiders). These legendary creatures are man-sized apex predators.
