Product Description
SAVAGE Whitechapel, November 1888: Jack the Ripper is committing his last known act of butchery in the one-room hovel occupied by the luckless harlot, Mary Kelly. And beneath the bed on which the fiend is cruelly and cheerfully eviscerating his victim cowers a fifteen-year-old boy...This is just the start of the extraordinary adventures of Trevor Bently, a boy who embarked on a errand of mercy and ran into the most notorious serial killer in criminal history, a boy who became a man as he travelled on a quest of vengeance across a wild and untamed continent - a boy who brought the horrors of Jack the Ripper to the New World. IN THE DARK Nothing much happens in Donnerville, at least not in the public library. Then the new librarian, Jane Kerry, receives a strange envelope. Inside is a fifty-dollar bill and a note instructing her to 'Look homeward, angel.'Mystified, Jane pulls Thomas Wolfe's novel of that title off the shelf and finds a second envelope. This one contains a one-hundred dollar bill and a clue to another pay-off. Like the first one it is signed 'MOG (Master of Games)'. Suddenly Jane is hooked, this is one game she must play to the end.

A scary menage a trois, with two novels and you, lucky devil!, July 1 2008
By Patrick T. Kilgallon "author's review" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Richard Laymon Collection Volume 11 (Paperback)
I have read both fine novels by the deceased horror writer Richard Laymon who is well regarded and well respected by thousands of aspiring horror writers in his field. The Island is a spring break complete with Whoooo! sound in the beginning as the narrator belies his luck (and relationship with the readers) with gorgeous women trapped onto the island and a chance to rescue them from hideous sex slavers, not without a sadistic peepshow first. The Quake is back to school special with the teenagers and loved ones fighting across LA city after an earthquake caused the population to descend into savagery. This is Hollywood animalism as you never seen before.
