What are you reading right now?
Has anyone tried Richard Layman? I read Quake years ago and was absolutely terrified! So much so have not read another since, I couldn't put it down though.
I finished Night Shift. I really enjoyed some of the stories. "One for the Road" really made me want to reread 'Salem's Lot.I think that I'm going to read The Dragon Factory next.

I've read all of his except Cuts. Try Body Rides, Island, Flesh, After Midnight In the Dark or Funland. All of those are brilliant. Beware and Bite are a bit ropey

It gets really good reviews and sounded great from the blurb but I wasn't too impressed with that one. It wasn't crap, just not up to his usual standard

Just jumping in because I am a Laymon fan. I just finished reading Island, Jacob. It was one of the better ones I have read. Really disturbing.

"Thank you, Kyle. I really want to read Body Rides.
Sorry, I guess that comment was for Kat. After Midnight and Body Rides were both quite amazing, as well.

Cant actually comment as I have not even started it yet!He says he wrote it then he realised it was very reminiscent of the stand.. my favorite SK.. so im a bit scared, because if I hate it, it will put me off him.
