The Laymon Zone....
Once again, Laymon has served up a treat that is filled with chills and thrills and plot twists aplenty.
Ed Logan has lost his girlfriend, Holly, to another man. She's kind enough to tell him the news in a letter posted from another state. Depressed and feeling sorry for himself, Ed heads out into the night to walk to Dandy Donuts seven miles away.
What (and who) he encounters during that walk will change his life forever...
To say much more is to give too much away. But let's just say that this is one of the most chilling Laymon books ever. The atmosphere on the streets, the characters Ed encounters (both friend and foe) and the actions he must take, all join together to get the hairs jumping on the back of your neck.
And there's one girl you just won't forget for a long looooong time...
Following on from The Travelling Vampire Show, Night In The Lonesome October goes even further than TVS in the creeps department. It's nasty, violent, scary and fun!
A Laymon NOT to be missed! The Leisure version is a pure delight, and the cover continues in their terrific atmospheric tradition. It's great to see Laymon finally getting the recognition he deserves in the US.
So...do you wanna read it??? Ask yourself, "Ride or Hide?"
