CRABS ON THE RAMPAGE (Guy N Smith Re-revisited) Graham and Phil return to Derry & Toms to tackle our third adventure in the company of the mighty Professor Cliff Davenport in the first of a one-two punch of GNS-related early Halloween action…

Three more days to our 2025 Halloween spesh, when we will continue our run of pulp killer critter shenanigans. In the meantime, here is Crabs on the Rampage from a couple of years ago. Because @guynsmith.bsky.social can not be denied.

Unsuspecting holidaymakers at the newly-built Blue Ocean Holiday Camp enjoy amusement arcades, discos, and fairground rides while tucking into cockles, winkles and scampi suppers.

But the shellfish action is about to get deadly.

Crabs' Moon is @guynsmith.bsky.social's fifth crab book.

Read the book over the Easter break - absolutely fantastic! Very much in the GNS tradition - fast-paced, revoltingly gory and hugely addictive! Tara Paulsson (Bumble Mum) will post a short review very soon!

When a secret chemical experiment goes horribly wrong at a remote lab, a horde of woodlice, once harmless, mutates into something far more terrifying.

Armoured in grey chitin and growing by the day, these unstoppable creatures are no longer content to live in the shadows.

The infestation is spreading, the swarm unstoppable. Will anyone survive the grey, chitinous death creeping ever closer?

In the quiet fields of Sussex, terror waitsβ€”crawling, skittering, and ready to consume everything in its path...

My debut book. I enjoyed the process, and used Guy N. Smiths "Writing Horror Fiction " as my guide. If you like creature vs human type #PulpHorror you might like this. The Woodlice amzn.eu/d/7iWi2jd #HorrorFiction

Guy N. Smith's Cannibals is a gruesome romp in the Scottish countryside, courtesy of a rather unwise tourist push.
