| RICHARD LAYMON KILLS! |
Richard Laymon recommends
Clickers (1999) 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 (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 (2002) Simon Clark "A master of eerie thrills." | |
Red Angel (2003) Andrew Harper "Andrew Harper is one of the best!" | The Rising (2003) Brian Keene "A top-notch, terrifying thriller." |
