Killer Crabs by Guy N. Smith5/10/2023 ![]() Jonjo’s warning of impending doom is coming true as tiny corn people are glimpsed flitting through the autumnal mists. And the harvest festival becomes a nightmarish inferno of death. The Kirby’s milking goat vanishes without a trace. Sharon, the Deeps rebellious, teenage daughter, disappears. ![]() They incur the contempt of the Deeps, an agronomist who seems hell bent on destroying the environment with his poisonous herbicides and pesticides. The Kirby’s have forsaken a secure lifestyle for an idealistic organic farming project. Crowds are drawn irresistibly by his strange, haunting, hypnotic music, a weird melody that lingers with the listeners long afterwards, a nuisance by day but terrifying in the nocturnal hours, calling them, commanding them. There had been buskers in the cathedral city of Lichfield for centuries, but never one like Jonjo. ![]()
