Product Information

Jean, my wife, helps with the business. Our four children, Rowan, Tara, Gavin and Angus have all moved away from home but they visit on a regular basis. If you are a woman then you shouldn't read this. There was only a woman and every single scene she was in - she was on someone like a dog on a bone... The last scene she enters there was no "action" but we were told she was a money grabber that the police was after. The next book in the Crabs series is ‘ Killer Crabs ’ (1978) released just two years later. ‘Night Of The Crabs’ has set down the groundwork for this next outrageous pulp horror classic, where no time needs to be spent playing with the denial and disbelief of the military which takes up a good chunk of ‘Night Of The Crabs’. However from here on in it’s non-stop blood-drenched crab action. From the moment the crabs first take to the beach of Shell Island, expect nothing short of one onslaught after another. his gaze focused on the top of the dark V of lower hair…She, in turn, was staring at the bulge in the front of his shorts.” I’m no prude, but this is making me want to watch Osmond Family reruns. These people are seriously and completely out of control. By the way, when the crabs invaded the island, they marched in a V formation. Coincidence or something dumber? You decide. But lest you think that the Giant Crabs Invading Wales genre was laid to rest with the sixth volume of Smith’s work, 1988’s Crabs: The Human Sacrifice, fear not. Guy N. Smith is a versatile author who knows how to introduce a timeless theme to new audiences, and you can now savor the seventh installment in the Crabs series in graphic novel form:

Night of the Crabs (Crabs, book 1) by Guy N Smith

You get the impression that Smith has thrown the sex in to keep the punters happy, rather than because his heart in really in it. If Herbert’s depiction of sex in books like ‘The Spear’ is bad, at least he tries to be sexy. Smith doesn’t even seem to bother. One memorable section in ‘Killer Crabs’ reads: I was first published at the age of 12 in The Tettenhall Observer, a local weekly newspaper. Between 1952-57 I wrote 56 stories for them, many serialized. In 1990 I collated these into a book entitled Fifty Tales from the Fifties. I'm not sure if it was an editing issue, or if the original text was messed up, but there are a lot of weird things going on in the Kindle edition with exclamation points, capitalized letters in the middle of sentences and other things like that. I was born on November 21, 1939, in the small village of Hopwas, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. My mother was a pre-war historical novelist (E. M. Weale) and she always encouraged me to write. Smith wrote his first horror novel, Werewolf by Moonlight, in 1974 published by New English Library (NEL). It spawned two direct sequels. However, he states it was Night of the Crabs, published in 1976, that really launched his career as a writer. Spawning 11 sequels, the latest of which was published in 2019, the series chronicles invasions of various areas of the British coastline by giant man-eating crabs. Smith claims that the 1981 film Island Claws, which told a similar story about giant crabs on the coast of Florida, was an adaptation of his work, though neither Smith nor his novel were credited on the film. [4]Damn the crabs," his voice was husky when they disengaged. "We'll have to put paid to 'em once and for all, Pat, if they're going to keep dragging me away from you like this. Still, we do owe 'em something. If it hadn't been for them we would never have met in the first place, now would we"? Retired professional hunter Gordon Hall is called upon when all other methods have failed, while a rural community lives in terror, not knowing when this Big Cat will strike again… Related Authors

Smith, Guy N. (1 March 1977). Tobacco Culture: A DIY Guide. Spur Publications. ISBN 978-0904558289. Red Herring: The military. At first it seems as though they may be responsible for the crabs, but it turns out they're just concerned Cliff and Pat are spies sent to find out about their top secret experimental pilotless plane. Verdict: No other book about giant crabs invading Wales could possibly compare to Night of the Crabs. It is a gross literary injustice that this book is not on the list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.Der Ruf des Werwolfs (1976) (originally published in German only; published by Erich Pabel as a part of their "Vampir Horror Roman") The ending struggle against the crabs manages to have some actual suspense and daring-do. For that matter, watching the criminals run around in a version of “A Crab Called Wanda” is entertaining as well. Let’s be clear: this is trash, but highly entertaining trash. Sometimes, a book comes along that completely redefines the genre. For the genre of “Giant crabs invading Wales,” Night of the Crabs is that book. The Guy N. Smith Fan Club was formed in 1990 and still has an active membership. We hold a convention every year at my home which is always well attended.

Book Review: Night of the Crabs By Guy N. Smith

It’s real enough,” he said grimly. “I wish to God it wasn’t, though! Just look at the size of that one!” Maybe that's my hang-up for expecting something of substance about a yarn concerning crabs the size of automobiles who are as intelligent as we are and hate us with a blinding fury. It ends in a final climactic showdown, an epic resolution that yet promises conflict still to come: In the late 1960s and into the early 1970s, Smith's writing focused mainly on shooting and he wrote regularly for many sporting magazines of the day. In 1999, he became Guns Editor of The Countryman's Weekly magazine, writing articles on shooting-related topics. [3] And that man can rap too. Here is a sample of a few of my favorite quotes from old Professor Problem-solver:Only two things I know change a man like that. One's the moon. The other is a woman." He banged a piece of crab with a small hammer. "This feller here is controlled by the moon phases. Somehow I don't think that's friend Klin's trouble."
