Summary: The Beast Is Back
Review: Another supberb book from Laymon's pen. although I have only read the second and third book of the Beast Trilogy I still found this book more than enjoyable. Its been a while since i have read the cellar so i had forgotten some of the characters.
Laymon never ceases to deliver, Let him rest in peace.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take the tour into the darkness
Review: Continuing the Beast House series started by the Cellar, continuing with The Beast House and ending up here Laymon continues to write with the eloquence and sheer shock that we have come to expect.

This novel lets us greet old friends, Sandy Hayes and Janice Crogan - albeit retrospectively as Janice is vacationing with her new husband - and introduces us to a whole host of new and intriguing characters. But the big question is does the beast still exist in Malcasa Point? Is Agnes Kutch harbouring beasts in the strange house across the street even now?

The Midnight Tour is just that, an unexpurgated tour of the Beast House for 13 adults at midnight every Saturday. Such a wonderfully simplistic idea but one which you just wish you could go on. Laymon makes not only his characters come alive in this book but also the town of Malcasa Point.

You care about Eve, Tuck, Warren, Dana and Owen............heck even Dark and Vein have their good points. But when he writes nasty characters he does so with abandon and Clyde and Monica illustrate this admirably being thoroughly nasty pieces of work and you can't help but smile as they "get theirs".

Be prepared for a couple of sleepless nights as you find yourself unable to put this book down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Can Laymon get any better than this
Review: I have just finished this book after borrowing it from the local library and I have to say that if you love Laymon then this is definately worth trying to find a copy. Combine the Beast House with a Midnight Tour and you have a great read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic. The best book in the Beast House series.
Review: I think this is the best book in the Beast House series and one of Laymon's best overall.

This is the third book in the series. It's the last in the trilogy. ("Friday Night in Beast House" is a spin-off book.)

"The Cellar" and "The Beast House" are the two prequels.

You can read the books out of order.

"The Cellar" is open-ended and sort of a letdown. Don't finish it before you get one of the other two books.
