GIANT CRAB HORROR FROM AUTHOR WILLIAM MEIKLEFrom Scottish writer William Meikle comes a novel that is a welcome return to those tomes of pure enjoyment that we read with guilt in our early teens, in the tradition of James Herbert's THE RATS and Guy N. Smith's NIGHT OF THE CRABS.It begins with a dead whale on a Boston shoreline--not in itself an unusual occurrence. But the things that claw their way out of the blubber are very unusual indeed. A cast of giant crabs, evolved over centuries, descends on a small coastal town and, having feasted, make their way to the city using the sewer system. Soon they are swarming around Manhattan, hunted and harried by a SWAT team tasked with ridding the city of the menace...before the menace gets big enough to rid itself of the city."I don't think you can have much more fun reading a book than "Crustaceans". It is one hell of a ride that will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can read them. There is bloodshed galore, epic man vs. crab battles and there is even room for some heartfelt moments." - Famous Monsters of Filmland… (meer)

I don't know what it says about me that this is the 5th book about giant crabs on rampage that I have read in the last year and a half. Maybe I don't want to know.

This book is clearly an homage to Guy Smith's Night of the Crabs but it is much more polished and better executed. The plot lines move at a good pace and converge nicely. The characters are interesting, have some depth, and you root for them. The crabs are carnivorous, savage, relentless and HUGE. All this adds up to great fun and exactly what I was looking for in this book. I noticed that the author has several other monster novels out there so I am looking forward to reading them as well.
