Night Of The Crabs (1976) - Plot & Excerpts

This was the book that started my love for Guy N Smith's work, as I'm sure it is for many people. Certainly this was his break out title back in a summer before even I was born, yes really that long ago.This sets up for me what to expect of a Guy book. Sex, gore and some quirky off beat humour just to show that even the author isn't taking his tale too seriously.This is great entertainment. It reads like a golden age exploitation movie and can be finished in one evening sitting. Just the way pulp horror should be.Perfect. Is this book mankind's greatest literary achievement? Clearly, the answer is "yes".A book in which giant crabs, invincible to bullets, tanks, bombs etc storm the Welsh coast to snip limbs off swimmers, feast upon army guys and wreck trains. Villain King Crab is described as the most cunning opponent in the entire history of human warfare. Protagonist Cliff Davenport is hailed as a crab expert despite being a botanist, and will proceed to display no emotion other than curiosity and the desire for a sandwich in relation to the death of his young relative. Also features incredibly sensual moments such as a ninety-second rut in the sand while on a giant crab stakeout.
