The seminal horror series created by J.F. Gonzalez, Mark Williams, and Brian Keene reemerges from the depths with the weirdest, most brutal installment yet!
Washed-up oceanographer Cameron Custer is hoping a mysterious living fossil discovered in the South Pacific could breathe new life into his career. Instead, Custer’s new specimen points him toward a heavily guarded secret—the truth behind the Guadalcanal Campaign. During World War II the U.S. Marine Corps had more than just the Imperial Japanese Army to contend with. They also had to wage a vicious battle against the amphibious Dark Ones and an onslaught of their deadliest servants.
Now, an ocean heaving with blood and guts, a battlefield teeming with rage and terror, a man’s demented love affair with a fish monster, and a boy’s heartwarming friendship with a prehistoric crab monster will all combine to prove that… CLICKERS NEVER DIE!
Splatterpunk Award nominated author Stephen Kozeniewski (THE HEMATOPHAGES, BILLY AND THE CLONEASAURUS) and Splatterpunk Award winning author Wile E. Young (THE MAGPIE COFFIN, CATFISH IN THE CRADLE) join forces for one of modern horror’s most anticipated reboots!

Kory Horror Lover –
Great reboot of the Clickers. franchise.
This is done so very well as both of these guys write this in a style that will still interest fans but different enough that this stands on its own as well. Loved it!

Clickers Never Die, They Just Get Better!
The reboot of Clickers, Starts off with a bang. Itâs just an amazing book to get the series going again! Usually I donât like books that go back and forth in different years, but this book does a marvelous job of it and you are so happy every time it switches. Itâs like you get two amazing stories for the price of one! Great work guys!

A new bar is set
Stephen K and Wile Y set a high bar for those who follow with more Clickers work. Clickers Never Die is one of the best of the series – humor, bloody mayhem, WWII battles, bloody mayhem, monsters, and, did I mention, bloody mayhem! Loved this book and I’m ready for more adventures in the Clickers universe(s).

great fun
I loved the book. Characters were like JF himself had written them. It got weirder and weirder as the book went on. Lots of fun. Custerâs sarcasm was very funny.

This is an ambitious novel, it has everything from monstrous crabs, the war in the Pacific, genetic engineering, Lovecraftian beings of the deep, as well as socio-political satire. Maybe this complexity coupled with the beautiful but limited skills of the two authors is why Clickers Never Die didn’t click for me (sorry, couldn’t help it). I think the authors bit off way more than they can chew.On the positive side, I think the body-horror scenes are well-done and very imaginative. Also, the psychic control the Deep Ones exert over the minds of the soldiers is aptly conveyed. However, many interesting concepts are introduced but not fleshed out. For instance, at some point, a Clicker draws some ancient mandalas in the sand with his feet, signs which point to his genetic connection with the Dark Ones and also to humans, a kind of a collective unconscious across different species. Unfortunately, nothing is made of this, it plays no role in the story. In addition, there’s always a nagging gap between the furious action that is described and the style of the descriptions. Instead of using short, fast and furious sentences, the authors opt for long, muddled, repetitive, sleep-inducing sentence structures. The slow pace of the prose put me to sleep several times and when the climax finally came, I could hear myself snoring deeply. I think a healthy injection of Dean Koontz, (from Intensity, let’s say) would have helped the authors before embarking on this project. The story is also plagued by wildly implausible events and situations. At one point, when the Americans are attacked by the Japanese, the Clickers, and the Dark Ones all at once, the main character finds time to write in his journal as his comrades are butchered all around. Very implausible. Also, I’m very skeptical about how the relations between the US presidency, the FBI, and Pentagon are portrayed in this novel. I’m aware that this is a make-belief world populated with make-belief monsters, but that is more reason to make the framework of the story as realistic as possible (e.g. Stephen King)All in all, there’s a lot of talent and interesting ideas in between these pages, but the whole construction is wobbly. I think focusing on only one thread of this complex story would have resulted in a shorter yet more powerful work.
