“They're as big as bloody cows!” Rocket fuel for schoolboys. A good, defiantly trashy, stepping stone between Enid Blyton and James Herbert (via Graham Masterton’s The Wells Of Hell) and just the thing to get 11 year old boys going gosh-wow again at prose fiction. Read it as an adult and it’s naïve,...
This book was part of a number I picked up when helping my daughter no 2 decorate her new flat. Having not read anything by Guy N Smith before (living in the UK...not having read anything by Guy N Smith...where have I been!) I was eager to jump right into this fine example of late 70/80s horror. I w...
Die drei Sterne sind übrigens breit grinsend vergeben. Rein qualitativ ist nicht mehr drin, aber der Spaßfaktor ist (unfreiwillig?) hoch:"She was glad of Cliff Davenport's comforting arm. Together they vomited into the spiky grass of the sand-dunes.""His loins were fully charged with emotion"Jetzt s...

Z opowiadaniami jest inaczej. Mają za zadanie szybko mnie uwieść, wykorzystać i porzucić po wszystkim, czyli po za...
I bought a book in this series as a kid because the cover art was so awesome. I never got around to reading it, so while in a nostalgic mood recently I bought it cheap on kindle. I realise that this book has gained cult statis by pulp horror fiction connoisseurs (oxymoron?) but I mustn't be one of t...
GIANT, EVIL CRABS INVADE WALES!This is Guy N. Smith:I can't tell if he's trying to be serious here, but he's a very seriousprolific author who seems to be going gangbusters with the ebook rights to his out-of-print pulp paperbacks.So, is he a sadly underrated British writer whose work deserves wider...
One of the most sensational literary discoveries of the last year was the hitherto unknown first draft of La Fugitive.
