Enormous, deadly spiders? Like Shelob in "The Lord of the Rings"?

Sort of, though they play a much smaller role in the tale than Shelob. 😀

I’m beginning to dabble with some fantasy short stories, Jim and, like you said, I was initially wary of including monsters or races that I had come across in Tolkien or D&D. Then, I just thought, if it works in the story I’d just go for it. It’s my story after all! 😁

I’ll hopefully get around to publishing them soon so be interested to get your thoughts on how successful or otherwise I’ve been

In the meantime, good luck with the third book. Hope it’s coming along well 👍🏼

Thanks Daniel! I'd be very happy to look at them and give my two cents, for what it's worth. (One cent? 😀 ) ... In the end, it will always be about the story, IMO.
