Raymond Chandler meets H. P. Lovecraft meets Willie Meikle--a darkly magical mix.
Randy Chandler, author of BAD JUJU

Meikle's short novel is a loving romp in and out of both the Lovecraft Mythos and the noir detective novel... ultimately fulfilling because most of us have loved the same two sets of elements forever and can't resist whenever they are brought together again
William D. Gagliani, CHIZINE Book Reviews

ASIN: B003LBSJGM
Price: $3.99
Logline: (one-paragraph description):

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.

Soon the remaining men are fighting for their lives, and the lives of everything in the valley

"Despite the somewhat B-movie subject matter (mutant crabs), Meikle's skillful attention to craft raises his sci-fi horror to an extra level. Tense action, brisk pacing, and believable characters show a writer on the cusp of breaking through. I've read quite a bit of Meikle's fiction and believe he's one of the United Kingdom's best-kept secrets. If you like your speculative fiction with style and wit, and a cut above the typical munchfest, sink your claws in this!" - Scott Nicholson, author of The Skull Ring

Meikle is a master of monster fiction, but he also delivers a good dose of folklore and Scottish culture along with his tale. This visit to the Scottish Isles takes on a life of its own--and loses a few lives in the process! As with all his work, the characters are fleshed out and believable, with solid prose and an intriguing plot. Meikle is a welcome throwback to that vanishing breed--the good, old-fashioned campfire storyteller. - Scott Nicholson, author of "The First", and "Drummer Boy"
