J. F. Gonzalez - Clickers, A Lovecraft Like Gory Horror Fiction

J. F. Gonzalez has created an admirably gloomy, Lovecraft-like atmosphere in his horror tale, Clickers. The big difference is gore and spectacular, stomach-turning carnage – heaps of that kind.



Crab-like, eerie creatures (almost like coming from a Cthulhu Mythos short fiction by Lovecraft, The Whisperer In Darkness) crawl out of the sea in a peaceful, ordinary seaside town and hunts humans – the more defenseless they are, children for instance, the worse for them. Not as though smart or strong grown-ups could fight the crabs. They only hear peculiar clicks of the creatures’ claws – and after a few torturous minutes they meet a terrible death. However, even the clickers are escaping something in the sea which is even worse than them.
