![]() ![]() ![]() ( )Īfter Midnight is not just another great horror novel by Richard Laymon, but it is one of his more original works that stands out among his many books. Very enjoyable, although not his best in my view. Mr Laymon always reminds me of the very best b-movies writ large. It's classic Laymon stuff and very enjoyable in it's own way. This is just the start of her killing spree which is punctuated at regular intervals with lots of clothes being removed/discarded/ripped off etc and, this being a Richard Laymon novel, we're also treated to wonderful descriptions of Alice's breasts, usually while she(and they.) are in motion. She inadvertently kills a guy that dials a wrong number when he turns up at her door to make sure she's ok after she sees an intruder in the pool. In short, Alice, which she goes to great lengths to tell us isn't her real name turns out to be a bit of a maniac. ![]() This one's a little different(but only a little) in that it's told in flashback, so we know from the very beginning that the main protagonist does at least survive. It's impossible not to smile while reading one of his books. I always know what I'm getting with Richard Laymon. ![]()
