Title: One of Laymon's little time-fillers.
Review: This doesn't even come close to being one of Laymon's best (or even memorable) works.A great idea: the female "Queen" of special f/x for horror movies is hounded by a desperate freak (who tries to make a name for himself by scaring the hell out of "ordinary folk") trying to break into the business and become her protege, while he in turn is being tracked down by a girl he played a cruel prank on in high school. Unfortunately, a great idea is all it is. The book is written in the most predictable and uninteresting way.This makes a time-filler, as it does have some trashy horror value, but that's about all; you really don't care what happens to the characters, and the ending is very disappointing. Laymon could do much better than this. Read one of his other books instead.
