The Woods Are Dark by Richard Laymon
3.0
WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I feel like this review should be in all caps because of how outrageously ridiculous this book is. Somehow I’m not mad about it though. Just shocked at the events that transpired. I’m not sure why this is a 4 star read given the fact that it was just ridiculous, but I found myself so captivated and drawn in to this crazy story.
A strong start with the interesting concept of a human-krull agreement. The humans bring the Krulls sacrifices and everyone is happy (kind of)
But it doesn’t end there. Robbins goes crazy and released the sacrifices. WHY Robbins? Just leave without her! Lord. The dynamics of the groups became so incredibly interesting and I was just really captivated with it all. Landers is a sicko but I was so intrigued by his chapters because of it. The introduction of ‘The Devil’ was really unique because it added a history to the Krulls and made us realize that there’s something even more dangerous than them.
Not to mention the fact that this concept is just really terrifying. A community of feral human (ish) creatures living in the woods hunting humans. Using tools.
I think it could’ve done with less sexuality, as it often didn’t add anything of note, was almost a filler. Beyond that I have few qualms and was very satisfied with the ending.
Great mindless book!
