My views may have changed but my passion for horror and the darker genres remains as strong as ever! The Cellar (1980) It’ll be at least 25 years since I last read a Laymon novel, in that time I’ve married and had two daughters. Back in 1998 I bought every single Headline reissue, somewhat bizarrely they have sat on my shelves unread since then. This is why I’ve decided on this read thorough. Since then, alongside the accolades I’ve read many a criticism about Laymon and the horrors that lie behind those often gorgeous covers. I won’t discuss what I’ve read before (I’ll be rereading them soon enough), all I really recall was that the books featured copious amounts of sex, gore and violence and were an enjoyable quick and easy read. Laymon’s an author I’ve been aware of since I was a teenager, but only read a few times. And so begins the Kendall Reviews Richard Laymon chronological read through.
