The Beast House

Summary: One stop horror shop!!!!!
Review: I picked this book up one day after i recieved it for a birthday present. I am not one so popular on quite thick books. Normally taking me months to proceed to the end of large novel. I read this book in 48 hours and is truly one of the most mesmorising books i have ever read. A carefully twisted plot and well thought out content mixed in with some steamy horror is a sure fire hit of a read. The Beast House is a harbour for horrors be it human or not at all. The house has a long past of gruesome murders and missing people. But when money and greed gets involved with the house it all starts to unravel. The houses quaint exterior peels to unearth its reality. This is a must read!!!!!

Summary: Sequel to "The Cellar"
Review: This is the second novel in the now legendary Beast House series. The first one is "The Cellar" and the third one is "The Midnight Tour." I read this book for the second time a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. It's not as exciting as some of Laymon's other novels but it's a quick read. If they made a movie of this book it'd be part action movie and part horror movie.
Some of the characters in "The Cellar" are referred to in it so I'd recommend reading it before you read this book. It's not for the squeamish though - there's a lot of strong violence and gore. Though this isn't Laymon's best, he occasionally wrote something that proved he was a genius. "No Sanctuary" and "In the Dark" are two of those books.

Summary: Not out of ordinary
Review: Well I have not become a Richard Laymon fan after reading this, so I should get others by him. Depending on the mood or where you are when you are reading this book it would be enjoyable (lets say during a long flight or a long bus/train trip, and if you have not got another book to read ) as it is a quick read (not necessarily a 'must read' , though ). Laymon jus tried to do his utmost to make reader consider this work scary, however rather than scary, it has become a fast-moving story. The characters- Tyler and Abe- are not out of ordinary and somehow Tyler acts like Polyanna, and Abe is just a sort of hero, and some coincidences were going on before some discovery by Abe and the guy together with him (exactly the same time the young girl kept in captivity had had found a way out of the room-jail).Just a movie-like thing and nothing else. Just entertainment.
