From best-selling writers J. F. Gonzalez and Brian Keene comes the wildest, pulpiest, most over-the-top B-movie installment in the Clickers series yet!
In the aftermath of a devastating tsunami and a series of undersea earthquakes, hordes of Clickers swarm onto the California coastline, slaughtering everything in their path. When the creatures begin attacking other parts of the world, humanity fights back, unaware that a second foe is about to emerge — Ob, Lord of a supernatural race of beings known as the Siqqusim, who have the ability to possess and reanimate the dead.
Now, Earth faces an invasion from not one, but two enemies — the mindless, hungry Clickers, and the evil, and equally ravenous zombies. Both groups have only one goal in mind — the total extermination of the human race. But what happens when these two forces meet…
CLICKERS VS. ZOMBIES – No matter who wins, mankind loses.

Zombies are always having body parts fall off of them b/c of their decaying bodies.
When I first became an EMT-B (for basic level), I had to pick up body parts and put them in a Zero ice bag, so the doctors could reattach the part, if possible, later. I retrieved fingers and toes most of the time, but also an ear and even an eyeball once. I can handle doing it singly, like one or two at time.
But one night I was working, and the call for a man hit by a train came in. I thought it was going to be a normal call, like a car that got stuck on the tracks and couldn't move before the train hit it, or a drunk driver who wasn't aware that the train was so close and tried to cross anyway. But when we arrived on the scene the details, which nobody had prepared us for (b/c nobody thought to mention it) were that a man had walked in front of the train on purpose, b/c he wanted to kill himself.
There were several body parts to retrieve and pack in ice, and I had to go around picking them up, and it's really true that nerves can stimulate from a source other than the brain, b/c at least one body part kept moving around as if by itself but in actuality were nerves going crazy from the sudden cutoff from the source that controls them; which is the brain.
Ever since that night, I haven't liked watching or reading about body parts falling off of people.
And, yes, the guy died. There was another, similar case, of a man who was hit by a train but he lived to talk about it. The one we treated didn't.
I liked the book 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town' which I must confess I bought at first b/c the title reminded me of a song by Bruce Springsteen. But I liked the book, even though the scene where they set the guy on fire almost undid me. Only b/c I know someone who died in a fire. Still, I was able to finish reading the book.
And the naked guy who stole all that shaving cream was a hilarious image.
