Killer Crabs by Guy N. Smith6/2/2023 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.
