Last week I read Crab’s Moon by Guy N. Smith. It is a strange book because the story runs alongside that of the first crabs book, Night of the Crabs. I have never read a book like this before. Usually books follow on, not run alongside. I actually bought Crab’s Moon first, but when I opened it up to read it I realized that there was a previous book and so closed it again and bought Night of the Crabs. What I never realized until today is that there are 3 more crabs book between the two. So the story starts in Night of the crabs, continues in Killer Crabs, Origin of the Crabs and Crabs on the Rampage (makes me itch just thinking about that one) and then just goes back and says: hang on guys all of this was happening down the road at the the Blue Ocean Holiday Camp when the crabs originally turned up.
Weird huh?
I did some checking up, and apparently the Crabs stories are the ones for which Smith is best known. I had no idea that he had written so much – 70 horror books and over 1000 stories and magazine articles.
