This was my first Richard Laymon read, and I was very disappointed. I may have a different taste, as I did not find it to be that graphic at all, although for the casual horror fan I could see some spots that might cause uneasiness. I was very let down after the reviews I read.
Perhaps I was put off by his writing style the entire time to actually enjoy the story. He writes like a fifteen-year-old trying to gross out his friends, and it comes off amateurish and lazy. Most of the book is filler, with a disappointing few moments of actual good plotting. Maybe I need to try another Laymon book to see what all the hype is about.
