Status Updates From Night in the Lonesome October

More thrilling comic acts from playboy Ed and histrionic buddy crashing intimate dinner party for Ed and Elaine. Doesn't take long to go sideways. Soon Ed is on the road again but dragging a heavy Albatross around his neck with the guy not getting anywhere with innuendos and groping. So "plays like" he is going to jump in the water beneath the bridge. The poser threatening to jump,the men below say come on in!

Now up reading because I can't sleep. The reader learns about Ed's friend Kirkus and his new girlfriend Jeannie (one of them I should say). Ed is planning leaving her alone drunk to go chase after the mystery girl Casey..She is a little less mystery to me at this point. So okay I dislike the character of Ed. I don't care if he and Kirkus are 19 years old. My theory of the book would answer a whole lot of questions.

Ed goes out hunting for his "mystery girl" and finally runs into her. Is her name really "Casey"? She introduces Ed to the October night life like the pro wrestlers " Linda and Walinda Wiggins"and tells him about the missing left arm from the shoulder down now in an aquarium. Casey explains that half the people at night are "nuts or zany". Casey tells him a chilling tale about almost not getting away from a " crazy".

Halfway point of this offbeat heavily atmospheric Halloween tale of teen terror and topsy turvy chilling shenanigans. Like it certainly but feel untethered periodically and disenchanted with immature decision making. Please also check Discussion Thread for Buddy Read Splatterpunk. I am likely behind the other two readers.

, Night in the Lonesome October is presently a Buddy Read on Splatterpunk Horror Book Club this month. This is a later novel by Laymon and the scenic ambience and the direction the author appears to be going seems very different from what I am used to experiencing with Laymon. Please also refer to Discussion Thread if club members.

Buddy Read this month for Splatterpunk Horror Book Club. This is very different from his othe books I have read. It has atmosphere and carries a sense a dread like an extra handkerchief. Interesting main character. Like it.

Began Night in the Lonesome October tonight but only a few chapters into it. Atmospheric. Really looking forward to a novel by Laymon this close to the Fall Season and the leaves on the trees changing. A long walk underway by a broken hearted young man headed for takeout cookies and safe passage for a lovely young lady partial to felines encountered in the night.
