About this listen

From 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 loved it. Crustaceans is a funny, tacky, thoroughly entertaining, silly comedy-horror about mutant killer crabs. Nothing more, nothing less. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing this to life. The Joe Porter character segments were hilarious. Highly recommended. 5/5 stars for me.

Enjoyed listening to this at bedtime. It was really quite good. It reminds me of "Night of the Crabs" and that's a good thing! Definitely worth your time.

Enjoyable read!

Nobody writes creature feature books like William Meikle. I liked this book a lot. Most of the characters were interesting and the story moved right along. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read to get away from the day to day for awhile.

Old school creature feature …
