The Woods Are Dark by Richard Laymon

This is not the deplorably hacked up first edition that Warner Books put out. This is the original pre-hacked version which Richard Laymon wrote and intended to have published. After his death his daughter dug through her father's files until she found all the pieces and put them back together the way her father first wrote the book.

I've been reading horror since I was a kid so not much creeps me out anymore. But I do have to say this book was truly freaky. It starts out like a train out of control and just keeps on chugging away towards the horribly horrific ending. Horror. Horror. Horror. Yup. That about sums this one up.

Bravo Richard Laymon! It's a terrible shame you didn't get to see your book published properly the way it deserved to be while you were alive.

Oh. No vampires. No werewolves. No witches. But still scary.
