Exploring Richard Laymon's Extreme Horror • My Top 6 Books
Richard Laymon wrote a lot of books, and I am sure I have read more than half of them. I have my favourites for sure, and choosing a top five is impossible so here is a Top Six... plus another one. Everyone has their darlings, and you'll not be surprised by a few usual suspects; Island, The Woods are Dark, and Cuts. These may be some people's less cherished picks too. There is no accounting for taste and for certain, tastes can change. Since I am embarking on this slow reread of my 'darlings' I thought we could take stock here and now of the top six and once I have read every Laymon on my shelf, come back and see if the lists still match. So far so good! Do you have a number one or top three Richard Laymon books? (and why is it Island?) I am sure Savage ranks quite high and I have hopes of it entering the race soon!
