Smith's crab novels?  The writing is about on the level of Merenghi's (no doubt the British Smith is an influence on the character).  I mocked the books on this site a long time ago.  The crabs are the size of cows, but the really big ones are the size of donkeys...even though donkeys are, you know, actually smaller than cows.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And seeing Merenghi during the intros gave me flashbacks to when Harlan Ellison would appear on Sci-Fi Buzz. Anyway, it reminded me of Jack Black's Heat Vision & Jack failed TV pilot.   HV&J played it a bit more straight.  In fact, that's my only complaint about Darkplace; sometimes it gets too intentionally goofy.  For example, chasing the monkeyman through an obstacle course in the middle of the woods.Overall, I'd give Darkplace an "A and 1/2" rating (it's better than an "A", but not quite an "A+").  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
