The vampire movie came first - the girl died in a welter of blood as the vampire bit clean through her jugular. Then came the spider film, followed by the story of the axeman. This...

Not His Best
Review of Out Are The Lights - Richard Laymon by Arbobug

Advantages: Scary, and quite original
Disadvantages: Wanders off topic sometimes

Advantages: short,sharp thrills that end with a bite
Disadvantages: stories are too short to have a major impact

Out Are The Lights is a collection of one novella and five other short stories-all with a short,sharp shock at the end-reminiscent of the old Tales From The Crypt comics and their ilk from the sixties and seventies. Starting with the title story,this short mini-novel tells the story of a delapitated theatre which re-opens for the showing of classic horror movies-showing two or three films a night interspersed with little shorts directed by an unknown ...

Advantages: Interesting ideas
Disadvantages: Only occasional flashes of brilliance

Out Are the Lights is one of Laymon's early books, and depending on which edition you buy, it also comes with five short stories. The main novel is the story of a series of films which are shown at a cinema, and appear to show people actually being murdered, though of course no one can really believe that.
