Ashcroft, British Columbia: Ash-Tree Press, 2002. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First paperback edition. Apocalyptic horror thriller, issued in conjunction with "Creeps" series; alien vampires come to earth via comet, devastate civilization. In one sense low-grade Wellsian SF, but highly entertaining in its own roughhewn fashion, also anticipating Colin Wilson's THE SPACE VAMPIRES by 40-odd years. "... Remarkable ... told with very considerable vigor." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 607. "Strange and effective," number 3 of 13 best science fiction horror novels cited by Karl Wagner (TWILIGHT ZONE, August 1983). [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-559. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 120. Clarke, Tale of the Future (1978), p. 68. Bleiler (1978), p.106. Reginald 07680].
