One moment Pamela is a newly-wed with a loving husband and a comfortable home. The next, she's the prisoner of a killer who has lusted after her since high school - and now intends...
more...to make her his slave. Norman wouldn't say boo to a goose, so he's never going to throw bad-boy Duke out of his car or say no to Boots, the hyper-sexed hitch-hiker who tags along for the ride. Together the lawless pair take him on a wild journey that looks like it's heading straight for the electric chair. But when the glory bus comes along there's hope of salvation for all. Pamela and Norman are just two who climb on board. They don't know their destination is the furnace heat of the Mojave Desert, where a special welcome awaits the weary traveller. It can't be worse than what's gone before. Or can it? See all Product Description

Full review
As an avid Laymon fan (I own over 30 of his books) I was a little disappointed with this book.

It's certainly not a terrible book and I did still enjoy reading it but I don't think it's a Laymon classic. At times it does feel a little like the story lacks direction, and some random encounters (Didi being an example) which I felt didn't really add to the story.

It is still a very fun read, and I won't spoil the story too much at all but it has all the gore that you come to expect from one of Laymon's books, particularly the diners "soylent" menu.

As always, the erotic elements are ever present although perhaps a little too much details when it comes to the character "Boots".

Have a read, I would definitely recommend it, but don't expect the sort of pace you would get from "Endless Night" or "No Sanctuary"
