Laymon has the ability to instigate in the reader a sense of uneasiness and anticipation of bad things to happen like very few authors. Not too much has to happen for you not to want the guy to go roaming the streets again. And yet he goes. Awesome stuff. I will take the opportunity and thanks you again jack since it was you who introduced me to Laymon with that little essay of yours I got from Cemetery Dance. Question for Jack: what do you think of Laymon short stories? I believe they too are outstanding. Your favourite (if you have one?) Cheers 2 Thu May 23 2013 - 21:30:24 Fullname: Markus Email: Comments: I want to ask you, how I could get an autograph of Mr. Jack Ketchum? Is there any way, to receive something like that? Whats his fanmail address? Or what should I do? Thanks! :) 3 Thu May 23 2013 - 04:33:48 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: Gail- Out of all the books I have ever read, NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER might be the "spookiest" or "creepiest"...And I would like to say that I have read some spooky shit...plus, Laymon was the...dont want to be redundent 4 Wed May 22 2013 - 01:50:27 Fullname: Gail Gowland Email: Comments: Hello Everyone, I have just finished Richard Laymons Lonesome Night In October, wow, can you say " What if ? " this damm book is spooky, just when you think it can't get any worse something else comes up ! This is a very fast paced book and I thought if you have not read it, you HAVE to check it out . I have now started to read by Brian Keene, Girl on a Glider which he makes reference to the great Laymon and others, I have just started to read it but I hear it is one of his best. Anyone else read this ? 5 Fri May 17 2013 - 06:30:06 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: Has anyone ever seen the 1970's sci-fi/horror movie PHASE IV directed by Saul Bass? I can not recommend that flick enough! I just saw the "lost" ending that the studio made Bass cut. It is about 4 extra minutes and really delves alot more into what Phase 4 really is. Not to mention it is a visual stunner. The original ending blew me away too. They should come out with a dvd where you could watch both endings 6 Mon May 13 2013 - 02:02:21 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: whyn does my spelling (sp?) always look wrong? 7 Mon May 13 2013 - 01:56:51 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: That and OFFSEASON and the novel that frickin changed me : THE GIRL NEXT STORE...and JOYRIDE 8 Mon May 13 2013 - 01:34:02 Fullname: jim Email: Comments: Jack- So it's the time of the season?...Just kidding...Everyone- I dont know if I've mentioned Jack's HIDE AND SEEK, but its a great read 9 Sun May 12 2013 - 15:37:04 Fullname: ketchum Email: Comments: JIM -- I'm a child of the '60s myself so I dunno if it was "written just for me," but sounds worth checking out. I haven't read Martin except for a short story here and there, all of which were good, though. Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm not talking the Game of Thrones stuff (Song of Ice and Fire actually), I'm talking about FEVRE DREAM, THE ARMAGEDDON RAG or the short story "The Pear Shaped Man". One of my personal favorite groundshakers is "Sandkings".... I'm reading "The Skin Trade" now... Everyone I read is groovy 11 Wed May 08 2013 - 05:26:43 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: This post is for all my fellow children of the late 70's and 1980's: I have to tell you about a novel I just finished : READY PLAYER ONE by Ernest Cline. If you loved Japanese monster movies and t.v shows, lived for Saturday mornings and the t.v it used to bring, played video games in places they called "arcades" or if at home it was on Atari, think Rush's 2112 is a profound musical achievement (I could go on); then you will love this novel. Like one reviewer said, I felt like it was written just for me 12 Tue May 07 2013 - 18:36:26 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: I will definitely pick up a copy, Dirk. Any new book by Graham Joyce is an occasion for...if you'll pardon it...reJoycing...best, D 13 Sun May 05 2013 - 18:57:24 Fullname: Dirk Email: Comments: Hi Dallas, hope all is well. A long while ago you once suggested 'The Tooth Fairy' by Graham Joyce, a great book that is very original. I was in B&N last week and picked up 'The Silent Land', by Joyce. Wow, the guy is really something, if you haven't picked this one up, you need too, good stuff. Take care, Dirk 14 Wed May 01 2013 - 03:51:51 Fullname: jim Email: Comments: I have to retract an earlier statement... Tarkovsky's Solaris is not boring (coming in at a 3 hour "ruskie" movie, thats saying something)...its more like the novel then I remember... 15 Mon April 29 2013 - 16:35:58 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: GAIL -- correction. It's an anthology, not a collection. Duh... 16 Mon April 29 2013 - 16:34:49 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: JIM -- Don't know Michael Green but checked him out and these novels indeed look interesting. I'll look them up. Agreed, NIGHT's an excellent read. GAIL -- EULOGIES is a collection, edited by Christopher Jones, Nanci Kalanta, and Anthony Trembly. Not out yet, but should be soon. Best, D. 17 Mon April 29 2013 - 07:24:25 Fullname: jim Email: Comments: has anyone ever read Michael Green? Seems like a fake name and he kinda just disappeared, but he wrote 2 novels: THE JIM JAMS and DRY SKULL DREAMS. Both highly recommended, if you can find them. 18 Mon April 29 2013 - 06:06:02 Fullname: Jim Email: Comments: Jack- I was just kidding with the J.W.J... NIGHT IN LONESOME OCTOBER is a personal fav. of mine from an author that has alot of favs. What a great writer Laymon was. That is a novel I can say actually "scared" me. He was the ultimate: grab some popcorn and a cold one and sit down to a groovy book (and try not mess the novel up with your popcorn hands, dont spill the beer and pass the...well, never mind...) 19 Mon April 29 2013 - 01:49:53 Fullname: gail gowland Email: Comments: Mr Ketchum, The Eulogies, who is it by and where can we get it. Is this what youre reading 20 Sun April 28 2013 - 19:16:56 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Since we're on what we're reading, check out the EULOGIES collection when it comes out, which should be pretty soon. I'm reading it in manuscript, and I'm impressed. Jot it down!
