Imagine driving down the New England coast on a brisk autumn morning.  The sky is a beautiful robin’s egg blue.  The salt air tingles your nose.  Gulls cry in the distance as the ocean breeze ruffles your hair…and hordes of scorpion/crab creatures swarm from the water across the road ravaging everything in their path.  Within a day, your peaceful seaside vacation has become a frantic pell-mell flight for your life as the clicking crustaceans attack anything that moves.  Next you discover what is hunting and driving them from the ocean…and it gets much, much worse. 

Reading Clickers is like sitting down to watch a classic creature flick with buckets of 21st century gore mixed in.  What it somewhat lacks in characterization, it more than makes up in action, imagery and sheer gut-wrenching terror.  This small press horror gem is simply screaming to be made into a summer blockbuster.  A perfect beach read for fans of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Cthulhu Mythos.
