Title: This book is horrible.
Product review: I've read a lot of horror (including a number of Laymon's other books) and I don't think I'm particularly squeamish. But I found this book to be disgusting.Laymon's best, such as Night in Lonesome October and The Traveling Vampire Show, are creepy, surreal, and yet somehow (in spots) charming. I thought this one was simply revolting and (in spots) ridiculous. The plot is just silly, but what really turned me against this book was the gruesome depictions of violence, rape, and torture. Laymon seems to always mix up sex and violence, but in this book he is way over the top and goes too far.Some of the other reviewers suggest that there is an exciting twist at the end. I wouldn't know - I threw this book away (literally - I threw it into our kitchen garbage can and promptly took the trash out) when I was about halfway through.I'd strongly recommend skipping this one entirely. But some of Laymon's other books (like the two mentioned above) are great.
