3 best friends spend the day trying to figure out how to get in to see the female vampire in a traveling side show. They spend the day freaking out over weird happenings. Things get weirder when they get to the show. I don't think the sister-in-law, Lee, was very realistically written, even cons...
Normally I would delete my old review and write another one, but my previous review is so epically bad that I want to show myself how far I’ve come not only as a writer but as a critic as well. (Wow… that sounded pompous as fuck. I mean, I know I’m awesome, but that shit’s uncalled for.) Anyfuck, if...
On sale today, 9/30/14, I've read a few Laymon novels with varying levels of enjoyment. Resurrection Dreams I enjoyed for its gory over-the-top fun but I just couldn't get into Flesh or Funland.Despite its title this book is not about vampires. It's about three 16 year old friends and their fas...
Although not necessarily what I had expected, I can appreciate the great story that unfolds in The Traveling Vampire Show. Laymon has an amazing ability to create characters and dialogue that are so good they are almost entrancing. I did expect more vampire and less coming of age story so I feel a l...
This is, by far, Laymon's best work. I have read EVERYTHING the man ever wrote before he died in 2001. Next to Stephen King, no one has played a bigger role in molding me into the writer I have become. Laymon is not for everyone. He's a minimalist, never verbose, and can drum up a shock a minute whi...
Coming down from reading All Men Are Mortal, I needed a brain breather and Laymon's The Traveling Vampire Show nicely fitted the bill.Laymon does two things very well: (1) He powerfully invokes the "horror" of being a teen-age boy. If you're a man and not squirming at being reminded of all the awkwa...
I must say this is the most unusual coming of age story I've ever read. It's also a different twist on vampires, and one of those books where you're never quite sure what actually was going on. This one is pretty gory, but enjoyable. Although the main characters are all kids, this one is not a go...
I enjoyed this a lot more than "The Woods Are Dark," but there's a lot of stuff thrown in here specifically to either slow down the pace or notch up the tension...and these things either fizzle out or go completely unexplained.
