RICHARD LAYMON KILLS!


Richard Laymon recommends
Clickers
Clickers (1999)
(Clickers, book 1)
J F Gonzalez and Mark Williams
"Fans of Guy N. Smith and the early James Herbert should get a real kick out of CLICKERS...creatures run amok, and heads roll! The invasion of the quiet, seaside community also has echos of Lovecraft. Creepy, grisly fun."
City Infernal
City Infernal (2001)
(City Infernal, book 1)
Edward Lee
"The living legend of literary mayhem. Edward Lee writes with gusto, guts, and brains. Read him if you dare."
Vampyrrhic Rites
Vampyrrhic Rites (2002)
Simon Clark
"A master of eerie thrills."
Red Angel
Red Angel (2003)
Andrew Harper
"Andrew Harper is one of the best!"
The Rising
The Rising (2003)
Brian Keene
"A top-notch, terrifying thriller."
