Giant Monster Horror Book List

Clickers

by: J. F. Gonzalez, Mark Williams

This novel based upon an idea by Mark Williams is the quintessential Seafood gone bad story.

Crab-like creatures with a scorpion shaped tale and as large as a house cat have come ashore near a small New England town. They ravage the town and kill many of the inhabitants before a response can be mounted.

But as the townsfolk eliminate the threat, they discover that these "Clickers" as they're called, didn't come ashore on their own volition. They were driven ashore but something far larger and more dangerous.

The Town's nightmare isn't over . . . it has barely begun.
