Although I'm just a complete fawning idiot over the Crabs canon...I have fallen in love with Abomination too. Well worth a read.
And hopefully I can persuade the Great Scribbler to pen some new pulp this year...having found all the unpublished manuscripts and short stories, in his loft.

I'm going to be working with Guy on a new zombie western from an outline that he wrote some time ago.
Think Assault on Precinct 13 with cowboys and zombies...and yes, folk will meet, fall in love and do the horizontal mambo within three pages...and die...horribly.

I don't disagree with Justin very often (he's bigger than me) but I think Rats is a stonking horror.
Well thought out story that moves along at a good pace...and the mini back stories of a couple of the early deaths are wonderfully fleshed out.
It's a shame that he's become a bloated author since The Fog...inasmuch that his new books are heavily padded.

For me...the Les Edwards cover for Satan's Snowdrop and the classic Night of the Crabs

Willie Meikle's book Island Life is lighthouse based...and if I knew how to do it, I'd post the cover...it's on his website www.williammeikle.com/

I am releasing six collections and 16+ novels in audio format this year. If you check out the www.ghostwriterpublications.com website later this week, you see all the new projects already recorded and planned. A couple of these you'll be hearing on Radio 7 toward the end of 2009, also. Neil

This weeks edition (24th Dec) will feature abrand new GNS short story...The Beast in the Mist.
I'm trying to convince him to extend it to novella length.
But this is a cracking xmas ghost story in the classic GNS style calling upon all his hunting expertise. I loved it, I think all fans, old and new, will do too.

Crabby...you still didn't put your listing down.
The Crab box set was/is a no brainer...for obvious reasons.
But I have a hankering for a 'creatures amok' set...a best sellers box set and a fans selection set.
That should cover all the bases and keep some of the cranky old timers happy.
It's funny that we forget that a lot of us read our GNS books in our teens...but as we got older...can critique with ease. But there are always new teenagers that want to read something a bit more 'titillating' than Horowitz, R L Stine and Rowling...so there is always a market. Personally, I'm looking further than the UK shoreline...especially the US/Canadian market along with Spain/Italy (deals in the works).
Anyone who has seen the proof copies of the next couple of books will say that changes have been made...introductions... new chapters etc. Nothing new...but for new markets, the introductions and back history, opens doors to the 70 plus novels.
I'm sure that Smithism will host a new breed of fans...and the artwork on it's front cover, is the sort of thing that will fly off the shelves in places like The Works in UK...Borders in Canada...and Barnes and Noble in US...bright colourful and with monsters.
He may have been a man of his time...but if you REALLY understand the way that the media business works...a 70 novel back cataloue is a huge draw for producers.
I think 2009 is going to surprise a lot of folk with regards to our Guy...in my opinion.

I hope to release it in the UK next year with a limited run. I think some more westerns by Brit authors is not a bad thing.

It's Guy N Smith...what do you think? But I think you'll find it a worthy investment. Neil

For me, it's one of his better books. Now this could be attributed to the fact that he LOVES westerns. But it's well planned, great story and I wish it had been given a print over here.
If Guy has his way, their will be a couple more westerns in the future, too.
It works for me...I think you'll enjoy it...and I was one who disliked westerns.
