Monsters

[Anthropophagus]

I am looking for a gory monster book.

When i say monster i am talking about creatures,the non human kind.

I have read the James Herbert trilogy The Rats and the Shaun Hutson`s Slugs books but what else do you recommend.

Creatures like the Relic or the Cloverfield would fit the bill.Anything that make the imagination run wild.

Thanks for that list, I also am a huge monster fan and can appreciate a good monster movie/book. The film industry is lacking in decent monster movies, although I did enjoy the movie Monsters (2010). Thanks again for the list of books.

Here's something you might find interesting:

I have wanted to read Night of the Crabs by Guy N. Smith for over twenty years and still not done so.But i havent exactly heard good things about it.Could i have heard wrong?

Although not a book i didnt like the movie Monsters,i thought it was a great attempt and one for such a low budget but it wasnt for me.

I like my monsters to be outragiously ugly and vile and totally different to the human monsters like the vampire,to me they have become so boring.

Monsters and creatures like the ones i mentioned earlier,also King-Kong and Godzilla,The Fly,The Thing,the creatures from the mind of Ray Harryhausen,The Blob,the Triffids,Giant insects..............you kinda get my drift.But in book form.

Something to scare the bejeezus out of me.:D

Night of the Crabs itself is very good as well as the first couple of sequels but the last two are not impressive at all.
