Dismember by Daniel Pyle

4.0

I first came across this gem of a book while searching for Richard Laymon Kindle books. Normally, I find that a dirty trick, but, well, the cover art really grabbed me, not to mention the cool title. So, I purchased the book. What a great read it turned out to be! Some really bad decisions were made by the grown up characters, which can be really annoying, but honestly, that made me think perhaps that is why the book comes up on a Laymon search? Pyle's characters were entertaining, and he really let us get to know the bad guy and actually feel some empathy, which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest things horror writers can do! This reads like both a slasher novel and a thriller. A bit heavy on the gore, for those sensitive to such things. If you can handle a bit of the visceral stuff, I highly recommend reading this for a quick, fun ride through this twisted killer's world!
