Summary: Great Piece Of Work
Review: I have never missed a Richard Laymon book and this is one of his best - on the same veins as 'The Quake'.

Summary: Not one of his better efforts
Review: I'm not a person who normally reads books, but when my friend suggested that I read this one I thought I would give it a go as it sounded quite good.It's a gripping read from start to finish. The way he writes is so fun, easy, perverted and sick all in one. Since reading this I have read nearly all his books. Take it from me, YOU HAVE TO READ IT!

Summary: Creepier than King; gorier than Koontz!
Review: Reading Laymon is one of my guilty pleasures. I sometimes feel like I should be wrapping the covers of his books in newspaper, but that doesn't stop me from devouring his novels. And he doesn't disappoint me or the fan of the "thrill-a- minute, don't-look-around-the-next-corner" genre of horror novels with this product. While the premise of the novel is a little unbelieveable, it does take off faster than a rap singer booked on the Lawrence Welk show. After a few pages, you begin to feel the same suffocating paranoia that those trapped in the cave are dealing with. Character development is good and it's easy to single out the good from the evil. This book is a quick-read and you won't be disappointed if gore and shocks are your thing.(Just don't eat while you're reading it!) Laymon has the ability to latch on to a storyline and wring every thrill he can out of it like a terrier playing tug-of-war with you. His books are consistently as scary as Stephen King's and often times deliver more chills than Dean Koontz'. Try "The Stake" and "The Woods are Dark" for other good efforts by Laymon.

Summary: An engaging tale of an English boy hunting Jack the Ripper.
Review: Richard Laymon has some pretty heavy reccomendations, such as by Dean Koontz and Stephen King, and he indeed is a master of the horror/suspense genre. A die-hard fan of the horror genre might not like a western story, but this is different. The protagonist, a young English boy in London, finds himself embroiled in adventure during the time of the White Chapel murders. He hunts Jack the Ripper across the ocean and then all about the newly emerging country of America. He finds much adventure in the old west. This is truly a masterfully written tale, combining horror, suspense, and adventure in a history/western setting. It's worth checking out!

Summary: Laymon knows what horror really is
Review: Richard Laymon, whose books are very hard to locate in the US, knows something that many of his contemporaries do not. He knows what horrific means. Horror is supposed to shock, revile, and sicken. Otherwise, it's just a pleasant story with a little shock value mixed in. Laymon shows he understands this by holding no taboos with his writing. Yeah, he shows us cannabalism and incest, but those are downright terrifying subjects to most people. Readers can stick to their nice cozy formulated horror stories, or they can try Laymon.

Summary: One of Laymon's best
Review: This is definitely Richard Laymon at his most weird, strange and perverted best. Although I read this book some time ago and so I cannot remember all the details of the book, I do remember that this is one of the best Richard Laymon books that I have read of his (and I have read just about all of them). Two other excellent books are "Quake" and "Island" which has an excellent and unexpected ending. Where does this guy come up with this stuff? Good going - hope he writes more like them!

Summary: Creepy and surprising
Review: This is the first Laymon novel I have read. It had all the characteristics I was told to expect: A quick start, a fast paced plot, bits of nasty violence, and some sex. Needless to say, I liked it! This is an entertaining and creepy novel. In overall effect, it is reminiscent of Jack Ketchum's "Hide and Seek" (which is fine by me too!)
Rating:
Summary: his best book yet!
Review: This was one of Laymon's best written books yet, filled with deception, mystery, gore and a wide range of characters ranging from the hateful to the lovable. The story is brilliant, if unusual (nothing new there!), and not for the faint-hearted. Definitly a must read for those who love Stephen King or Dean Koontz.

Review: When Darcy leads the underground tour she doesn't think it will be any different then the many times she had led it before but it is. When the lights go out she doesn't think about it much but when the lights are still down when they got back to the empty elevator shafts she knows something isn't right. Darcy knows of a natural opening and decides to head towards it in hope of getting her riders out safely but someone down there knows she shouldn't but will he speak up before something is unleashed that should stay buried forever?
