The Traveling Vampire Show145 reviews
Richard Laymon

Leisure Books, 2001

I loved everything about this book

+ Horror the way it should be done
+ Wish I had read this Laymon book first

Despite its title this book is not about vampires. It's about three 16 year old friends and their fascination with visiting the upcoming vampire show. It has moments of gore but mainly it's a coming of age tale focusing on these young kids. The lusty thoughts which I've come to expect from a Laymon ...
  
  











  



  
Into the Fire20 reviews
Richard Laymon

Leisure Books, 2006

GOOD Laymon read.

+ A++++++++ TOP OF THE LINE LAYMON!
+ Entertaining and hard to put down

This is Laymon book number three for me. I just can't seem to get enough of this guy. I am starting to get used to his writing style, but that just means that every book just gets better and better. The thing about Laymon horror, it reads just like your favorite campy horror film. It is like ...

Leisure, 2008

A Mixed Bag

+ 2 in 1
+ A Quick Read!

Old Flames by Jack Ketchum as a whole is a mixed bag although it is worth buying for the second novella Right To Life. Old Flames contains two novellas. The title story Old Flames and then a second novella Right to Life Old Flames is a disappointment. Ketchum should have made this story novel ...
  
  











  



  
The Woods Are Dark22 reviews
Richard Laymon

Leisure Books, 2008

Compact but packs one heck of a punch

+ From J. Kaye's Book Blog
+ Great 1st read

I never read the eunuch version of this novel, so I can't make any comparisons in that respect. I can, however, state that this is one sick and disturbing book and I mean in that the most positive sense. In a brief 215 pages, we are introduced to some real blood curdling characters that makes the ...

The Girl Next Door157 reviews
Jack Ketchum

Leisure, 2007

Horrifying

+ Riveting
+ Horrifying

If you have been a victim of child abuse, do not read this book. If you are sensitive to this subject matter, do not read this book. Many times I knew that I should have put this book down and taken a shower, but it just kept drawing me back in. Definitely a book that will stay with me a long ...

Laymon does it again!!!

+ Good
+ Prepare for Cuts...

I love Richard Laymon. Not like that. I love his writing. This book espcially. Orignially it was a hard to find, expensive, hard-cover but Leisure books has done everyone a favor and re-released it. It is two stories put together (i.e. "No Santuary, "Into the Fire"). One story focuses on Albert ...

American Psycho1077 reviews
Bret Easton Ellis

Vintage, 1991

Not for those with a weak stomach!

+ Not for the queasy readers

I had been meaning to read this book for a long time, and I must say that I am glad to have finally read it. There is horror and gore in this book, but the only purpose is not to make you sick. Pat Bateman exists in a society that most of us will never understand. His ability to keep up appearances ...
