Sadistic Vampire Hell Advantages: There's a vampire in it Disadvantages: Overlong, tedious and repetitive Introduction Laymon's horror fiction could be described as puerile, blatantly and overtly sexual, a little predictable and trite nonsense, I have read many of his novels and found them both troubling and mildly offensive, but again I go back to him and read him again because he does at times deliver some good old fashioned chills and thrills too. His novels are usually fronted by young sexually frustrated men, men who are perhaps on the skinny ... ...which makes them more often 'good friend' rather than 'boyfriend' material, they are often in their twenties but are seemingly more adolescent in their attitude and outlook. The women, or girls in the novels are written almost exclusively one-dimensionally, they are described and represented simply as sexual beings in Laymon's fiction. His fiction is usually written in a fast-paced, straight-forward, gung-ho, go-get-em style, and we are frequently ... kitty17 30.10.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Bite - Richard Laymon	Would you read it again?

Not your best, Dick Advantages: I got it cheap Disadvantages: Weak characters, not scary Whilst queuing at the checkout in Asda recently, I spotted Beware by Richard Laymon on one of the shelves for £1. I'd recently read The Lake by Laymon and enjoyed it, so I decided to chuck Beware on the conveyor belt and give it a go. Strange things are afoot in the town of Oasis; the local supermarket is apparently haunted. Soon, a guard dog is killed and the supermarket owner is found wrapped and jointed on the butcher's block. Local reporter ... ...a little closer to home than she first thought. I found the book to be readable, although I didn't really enjoy the story. The problem was the characters. I found them flat, unbelievable and rather clichéd. The protagonist is Lacey, the reporter. Very early in the story she is savagely beaten, raped, beaten again, raped again, held hostage in her own home and raped a third time. This happens in the space of a couple of days. These horrific ordeals ... tuftie 05.10.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Beware! - Richard Laymon	Would you read it again?
