“She’s beautiful, she’s cunning… and she was made to kill—this Halloween, no one escapes her web.”

Australia, 1976. A nightmare is waiting to hatch.

When nineteen-year-old American Ian Thomas is banished to live with relatives in the Adelaide Hills, he expects hard work, sheep shearing, and endless teasing at his expense. What he doesn’t expect is an eight-legged nightmare with flower petals and fangs.

On the run from an abusive ex, brilliant scientist Fiona is offered safe haven by the Thomas family. But she isn’t traveling alone. She carries a secret: Charlie, a genetically altered spider with a mind of her own and a mission written in venom.

When Halloween collides with the town’s annual shearing festival, blood will spill, lives will shatter, and the shadowed bushland around Hahndorf will become a deadly hunting ground. As Fiona witnesses the carnage Charlie unleashes, she’s left with one question: will anyone survive?

Steeped in retro ’70s culture, black humor, and creeping dread, It Came From the Flower Shop Down Under blends horror and suspense into a nightmare that will make you laugh, shiver, and think twice before stepping into your local florist—because some bouquets bite back.
