Book Reviews of Madman Stan and Other Stories
Book Review: His novels are better
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're a Richard Laymon fan then you probably know what to expect when reading his work; violence, psycho killers, sex, and unexpected heroes. The only problem is that for the most part I think that his plots are better told in the form of novels, because then you at least get to know the characters better. Don't get me wrong his short stories are still pretty good the title one Madman Stan is good The Maiden, Bedtime Stories, The Champion, are all good horror stories. I really liked Invitation to Murder, it has a twist ending. Then some bizarre ones, like Kitty Litter and Slit. Overall I'd say give it a try, Laymon is a great writer and reading anything of his is worth it. But read his novels too, they're where he really shines.
