I’m more than glad I let you come with me tonight," he whispered as he zipped himself up again. "I’m afraid, though, that we must still keep an eye open for those crabs!"

There is a certain type of joy that can only be experienced when genre fiction like this opens up the floodgates of possibility and just runs with it. The novel does not take itself seriously but it also does not engage in apologetic self-parody. It exists in a delightful plane of existence where you willfully accept big old crabs chopping off human limbs with foot-long pincers. It is a quite heady rush, all things considered. [Note: the four stars given to this book are given entirely in the context of your ability to accept such things as actually a joy to read. If not, then this review is probably not for you.] Dead Meat (1996) (omnibus of the first four books plus two new Sabat stories, Vampire Village and Hellbeat) 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: Night Of The Crabs’ was the first instalment in Guy’s signature ‘Crabs’ series, but should possibly be read after the later released prequel entitled ‘ The Origin Of The Crabs’ (1979). The prequelends exactly where ‘Night Of The Crabs’ takes off, bringing together a seamless and tight storyline to begin the crabs series off with. 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"?The story finds itself located this time within the picturesque setting of Barbeque Bay on Australia’s beautiful Hayman Island. Everything is far from tranquil as the giant crabs once again emerge from the sea to wreak their bloodthirsty revenge on humankind. While reading through this novel I could never quite shake the feeling that this started, on some level, as Doctor Who fan fiction. The Third Doctor and UNIT versus the Macra? Maybe. Professor Davenport often feels like a Pertwee character (though younger and a bit lustier) and the general pacing of the book feels like the ebb and flow of a 70s-era Doctor Who serial. Just one with a few added sex scenes* and maybe a bit more gore and violence. Personally, I cry bullshit on this. When you’re a teenager, sure, a strong wind is enough to have you facing north. However, as a 40 year old guy, I can assure you that these things no longer happen “accidentally” and NEVER…NEVER without the owner’s awareness, let alone consent.

Their lips met again, tongues probing and entwining. Both of them were experiencing the awakening of something which had lain dormant in them for so long. Rapidly they were getting out of control.

The Welsh coast basks in summer tranquility, then the drownings begin… Not until the monstrous crustaceans crawl ashore, their pincers poised for destruction, does the world understand the threat it faces…. Night of the Crabs by Guy N. Smith – eBook Details Even though this book was a lot of fun, it's not exactly well written. I wasn't expecting horror literature, so that was okay with me. Night of the Crabs’ is the true beginning of the all-out crab war. It’s a classic pulp horror and splatterpunk novel that is hard to be bettered for such an unashamed far-fetched enemy. An enjoyable read is the understatement of the century!

In addition to “DE”, it looks like Klin was also suffering from a mild form of PRIAPISM. I'm not sure how else to explain a 40+ year old man, alone on the water experiencing random stiffness: “He cursed as he suddenly became aware of a hardness, and a protrusion in the front of his shorts.” I was born on November 21, 1939, in the small village of Hopwas, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England.

The whiteness of her thighs was in itself seductive in the soft moonlight, the darker triangle of soft fluffy hair between them seeming to withhold secrets from him.
