FREE: Endless Night....Richard Laymon....must read.....so good

The listing, Endless Night....Richard Laymon....must read.....so good has ended.

This is Laymon working his magic at a gruesome chase novel. Filled with gore and definitely not for the squeamish, Endless Night still accomplishes what it sets out to do: never let up.

Through-and-through, this novel pits a teenaged girl and young boy against a group of savage killers. With a very intense time span, the will to survive is tested against Laymon's painted picture of the will to kill, maim, and destroy. Richard Laymon is one of the only authors I've read who can make a group of marauding maniacs seem believable.

This isn't a novel about character, though there is plenty of character depth. This isn't a novel about scenery, although it is played out mostly in Los Angeles. What this is, is a psychotic romp of a chase. Take it for what it is and you won't be disappointed. If you're coming to Laymon as a fan, you'll know what to expect. If this is your first Laymon, you might be better off starting with Island, or Night in the Lonesome October, which are much better introductions to his work. This is, however, a good, fast-paced read.
