4.0 out of 5 stars To Wake The Dead Jun 7 2004
By D. Hensley
Format:Hardcover
You will need a program to keep up with all the characters in this book. You may also ask yourself while reading this book "what do some of the characters have to do with the story?" But it will all be made clear at the end. This is not my favorite Laymon book, but the ending is very strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a Ripper!! May 31 2004
By Chris
Format:Hardcover
I picked this up for a bit of gratuitous escapism and it turned out to be a really enjoyable book. OK, so it isn't in the same class as a good Stephen King novel, but Laymon wastes no time in dropping you into the deep end and doesn't get lost along the way. This story is less of a supernatural chiller and more of a splattering gore-fest. The book is actually a very good analogue to the classic B horror movies that were spawned in the 70s - Bravo! It is intentionally confronting as Laymon seemingly tries to squeeze strong scenes into every chapter and this might disturb some people or indeed many. But, if you are looking for a somewhat tongue-in-cheek, page-turning book, that makes no apologies, then this is worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrror-black, no cream-no sugar! Feb 15 2004
By Eric L. Hoheisel
Format:Hardcover
An undead mummy is stalking the halls of a natural history museum. Several captives are imprisoned in an underground vault and sexually tortured in bizarre ways. These are the two main plotlines in a twist and turn filled pulp horror novel from the late Richard Laymon. There are suprises around every corner, laughs and plenty of extreme gross-outs. If you have never read Richard Laymon before this is a fine place to start, but beware: this is undiluted horror-black, no sugar, no cream, but plenty of blood, sex and torture.

Also recommended: BLOOD ROAD by Edo Van Belkom, THE CHURCH OF DEAD GIRLS by Stephen Dobyns, and RISEN by J. Knight.
