Night of the Crabs (1976) [5]
Killer Crabs (1978)

I grew up reading those books, which probably explains a lot. He has an annoying pro-hunt/bloodsports view, which is particularly evident in Human Sacrifice, but the rest are all good reads. There was also a graphic novel and a chapbook with 3 crab related short stories.
William Meikle (who used to post here a while ago) was supposed to be doing an update co-written with Smith, but it seems to have fell through. But he did write one called Crustaceans with giant crabs in America that has characters with a remarkable similarity to the characters in Night of the Crabs
