Flesh

No one in town has ever seen anything like it: a slimy, mobile tube of glistening yellow flesh with dull, staring eyes and an obscene, probing mouth. But the real horror is not what it looks like, or what it does when it invades your flesh—but what it makes you do to others.

Dean Koontz

“No one writes like Laymon, and you’re going to have a good time with anything he writes.”

Publishers Weekly

“White-hot pacing (with) rivers of blood…Memorable evocation of the fathomless mystery of the moonlit hours.”

Stephen King

“If you’ve missed Laymon, you’ve missed a treat!”

Kirkus

“The master of stomach-churning violence.”

Horror World

“Laymon is, was, and always will be king of the hill.”

About the Author

A former President of the Horror Writers Association, Laymon has written over thirty novels, more than sixty-five literary short stories (which were published in Ellery Queen, Alfred Hitchcock, and Cavalier), poetry, crime fiction, two suspense novels, a Western, and two romance novels. Until recently, his books were unavailable in the US for more than twenty years. His novel Flesh was named Best Horror Novel of 1988 by Science Fiction Chronicle, and both Flesh and Funland were nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. He won this award posthumously in 2001 for The Traveling Vampire Show. Richard Laymon died in 2001 of a heart attack.
