Book Reviews of To Wake the Dead
Book Review: A brutal, breathtaking ride through horror...
Summary: 4 Stars
Susan Connors works in the Charles Ward Museum. They've just received a new artifact: a mummy, actually. Amara. Rumor has it, Amara isn't really dead...well, she's dead, alright, but she gets up after nightfall and walks around...with murder on her mind...
Unfortunately, Susan's life isn't the only one affected. There's Grace, who, along with her boyfriend Cody and little sis Pix, is running away from home. There's Ed, who just got abducted by some mysterious stranger, with sadistic purposes in mind. There's April, who's all alone in her dark house, searching for a lover. These people's lives, along with those of others, will collide, revolving around one deadly mummy in pursuit of a child lost to her centuries ago...
Richard Laymon has proven time and again that he can write horror like nobody else. "To Wake the Dead" is not the best novel he's written, to be true; and certainly, the last twenty pages or so are a let-down, a climactic conclusion that seems to have been thrown together. But the ride there...wow. "To Wake the Dead" is pure, horrific, suspenseful Laymon that is bound to give you the willies.
