mikekaz 's review for:
Night in the Lonesome October
by Richard Laymon
Laymon can do no wrong. I've loved every book of his that I've read, and this one is no exception. The story follows Ed Logan as he tries to get over his break up with his girlfriend. Ed takes a late night stroll through town to clear his mind and runs into things both pleasurable and very weird. It's these pleasurable things that make him come back the next night and wander some more but of course he again runs into the weird, even weirder than the previous night. We continue with Ed on his nightly journeys which escalate more and more until the grand finale which fits in with the theme of the rest of the book.
While it might not seem like much of a description and like it would not be a very good story, it really is. The characters are a joy to experience as they run around town doing things that seem both fun and dangerous. I just could not help but devour the book until all hours of the night, thinking the whole time "God, there are some major fucking weirdos in this town." Once again, I can not recommend this Laymon book enough. Definitely pick it up and enjoy.
