I enjoy Fallgrade's grainy physics-defying city almost as much as I fear its foggy giant spider

It is said that to name a wild thing is to tame it, to delimit and temper it, to defuse its menace. The giant, vaporous spider in Fallgrade is called Karl. Know any Karls? Are you a Karl? I wonder if it's Karl as in Karl Marx. Perhaps it's a reference to arachnid imagery in anti-Communist propaganda, though arachnid imagery isn't the exclusive preserve of anti-Communists. Myself, I tend to associate the name "Karl" with paperweights, for reasons my brain refuses to explain to me. And yet, for al...
