Midnight's Lair is one of Laymon's more shocking books, but also one of his best. It was originally published under the pseudonym of Richard Kelly - a fact that has always puzzled me, since I would be proud to have written it myself. It's the story of a group of sightseers who are taking a tour of a flooded underground cave, when there's a power cut which traps them down there in the dark. From then onwards, all sorts of weird, sick and violent things begin to happen... The novel is fast moving and exciting, and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. However there are a number of scenes in the book which some may consider 'sick' or in bad taste, and the easily offended should perhaps steer clear. For the average horror fan though, there is a huge amount to enjoy in this book.
