Killer Crabs by Guy N. Smith5/30/2023 However, he is best known for his seventy plus horror books. He has written a series of children’s books under the pseudonym Jonathon Guy, two thrillers under the name Gavin Newman and a dozen non-fiction books on countryside matters. Smith has had over a thousand short stories and magazine articles published. For other critics though, this adds a certain camp quality to his work. Smith’s work has also been criticised by some as right-wing and reactionary, with the heroes often being thinly-disguised versions of Smith himself while hippies, lefties, protesters and animal rights campaigners are generally shown in a poor light. The pulpish nature of Smith’s concepts and writing are legendary in the horror fiction world, and have been spoofed by the award-winning comedian and writer Matthew Holness in his Garth Marenghi persona.
