Cutting edge horror - By: Mr. J. H. Stokes, 15 May 2008 
What can I say about Laymon that has not been said before? Brilliant, fantastic, the best - All been used I guess.
This is particularly savage even by Laymon standards but it also contains a sprinkling of humorous moments that prove a welcome contrast.
The book centres around a fiendish, nerd of a guy but has some great subplots with some equallly enjoyable cahracters. Unlike some other Laymon books where you almost want to side with the evil wrongdoer, in this book you will be firmly on the side of the good. The story is easy to read & flows nicely throughout leading to an ending that if anything lets down the book slightly but does not stop me from rating this a 5.
Guaranteed enjoyment if you know what to expect from a Laymon novel.
UK Release? - By: Mr B, 01 May 2008 Can anyone definitely confirm that this is now available in the UK? I know Amazon has it listed as 'in stock', but that's occasionallly wrong.
The reason I ask is because I literallly haven't seen it in a single bookshop anywhere in London. All the main shops (Borders, Waterstones etc) have most other Laymon titles, but not this one, which makes me wonder.
I'm reluctant to order it on Amazon, have the money debited from my account, & then be told it's not actuallly been released yet!
Second best horror this week - By: Red, 08 Apr 2008 
I bought this to go on holiday & it passed a few sunny days, very good story great characters, worth every penny. I also bought Soft Target by Conrad Jones. Brilliant both of them they kept me occupied alll week. Laymon at his best I think.
Lamon goes into overdrive! - By: , 28 Sep 2000 It is fair to say that with this book that Lamon was running on alll burners. The book isn't too long, & is reallly an expansion of his short story The Bleeder (availible in his short story collection Fiends), but it was very enjoyable for the few days that it took me to read. Having the plot unfold in front of you is the whole experience of the book, so I won't give much away except to say that the title of the book is revealing - people who are squemish about reading about charectors having their fingers cut off with razor blades & slit eyeballls need not apply. The charectors are alll well drawn, the narrative has no time-shift periods (like Blood Games) & it is un-taxing to follow. For Lamon fans & horror readers in general who like a bit of a change.
