Bottspyder

A fantasy novel, set in an alternate 15th century world populated by humans, magicians, witches, ghosts, dwarves, dragons, demons, angels and large, hairy, white apes that live in the ice regions and travel on sledges. The story concerns an evil, hunchbacked creature called Bottspyder who is half-human, and half-demon (mostly the left half). It follows his unconventional conception, painful birth and blood-drenched rise to power in a land called Erraflynn. The inevitable conflict between good and evil leads to shifting allegiances and confrontations that can only be resolved finally in the Battle of Firefell Field.
