She feels her life is very mundane and boring and she will not be able to meet new people but then an envelope appears on her desk in the library with her name on it. She opens it to find $50 and a note with a clue which leads her upstairs to a book where she finds another envelope with a note but this time with $100.

...in order to get the next envelope, each containing twice as much money as before. I started off really enjoying this book and thought the suspense was quite good and 'where will she be sent and what will she have to do next?' but then I thought the book started to get a little far fetched. First of all she is being sent to stranger and stranger places and being asked to do horrible things (such as walk into an abandoned house, go upstairs to an ...

An excellent read

Advantages: Great read, full of surprises
Disadvantages: Not for the easily offended

In the Dark is definitely one of Laymon's better books, which keeps you guessing right to the end.

One clue leads to another, but as the prizes become bigger, the feats she has to perform become more and more sinister, dangerous and downright evil! It's a brilliantly written novel, full of surprises, and Laymon even ...
