Title: Interesting, but ...
Review: I have heard and read a lot about Laymon, so I decided to give this novel a try. College student Ed (our hero), is dumped by his girlfriend. He gets involved with a new love,and has run ins with night wanderers, cannibals, psychos and... well, it gets weirder (and kinkier) from there.Laymon has a nice flair for the creepy, but some of the elements just don't gel together, and the ending is rushed. We never get to know enough about any of the characters to really care, and the bad guy is just a meaningless plot device with weird kinks.For a better treatment of a similar theme, try the out of print "The Night People" by Jack Finney.
