Although two novels I think most readers, at least readers who enjoy horror, will like are IN THE DARK and THE TRAVELING VAMPIRE SHOW. <br /><br />Both showcase Laymon's considerable skill at writing dark suspense with likable characters who never seem to do the right thing. <br /><br />A few of my favorite Laymon titles are: NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER, ONE RAINY NIGHT, NIGHT SHOW, and THE STAKE. Now one did fun over-the-top horror like Laymon. It's too bad he died so young. I think he was just getting into his own.Ben Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024782701164448300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28085999.post-3911971412299887042009-08-14T20:44:00.179-06:002009-08-14T20:44:00.179-06:00A fellow Laymon fan.

He's kind of an acquired taste, if you know what I mean.Tossernoreply@blogger.com
