Jean’s his wife and clearly, she “has to put up with it all.” Whatever that entails! You won’t find ANYTHING like this these days… Here’s most of my Crabs collection An awesome variant cover of KILLER CRABS. Guy’s hilarious dedication in Night of the Crabs. Night of the Crabs was re-released in 2017 with a new introduction penned by the legend himself. Talk about milking a series based on killer mutated crabs! The last of which was published on Jas The Charnel Caves. Based off James Herbert’s The Rats (the cover admits as much), Night of the Crabs would go on to spawn no less than SEVEN sequels. However, it was Night of the Crabs, released in 1976, that gave Guy N.

His first horror novel, Werewolf By Moonlight, was published in 1974. Smith was a true master of the macabre.ĬRABS R US Guy’s first horror book was a real howl (sorry)īorn on November 21, 1939, Guy Newman Smith has published approximately 4,000 articles and wrote over 120 books during his prolific career. Whether he wrote about killer animals or doomsday plague-infested nightmare scenarios, Guy N. It’s only fitting then to highlight some of his work and commemorate the man who had one hell of a career. Smith was one of the biggest driving forces in my horror fiction fandom. Smith passed away at the age of 81 on December 24, 2020. Smith books that I soon started collecting. Smith thrived in the ’70s and ’80s when paperbacks from hell were at the peak of their powers, and Cannibals became the first in a long line of Guy N.

Smith, who upon further research I discovered was a rather prolific writer of pulpy horror fiction. It was my first foray into the twisted and macabre mind of Guy N. Luckily, I was the winning bidder and devoured Cannibals (no pun intended) as soon as it arrived. The cover art was so wildly compelling, graphic and politically incorrect that resistance proved futile. 2 summers ago on eBay I stumbled upon - quite by happenstance - a trashy horror novel by the name of CANNIBALS.
