A 4 star rating for the stories but a 1 star on the production of the bookA nice anthology with authors who I have never read before and will now seek out their books.My only comment is CD took a short cut on the quality of this book.It could have been way better.The boards no matter how careful you are with them curve slightly after reading.The boards should have been way thicker considering how many pages were in this book
Despite a reading speed measured in fighter jet terms, I took two entire months to eat my way through this mastodon of a book. And make no mistake, this sucker is a beast. The 612-page count is already impressive, but when you factor in that each page is roughly 7" wide by 10" tall, printed on high-quality stock, you're left with a tome over two inches thick weighing a shelf-groaning four pounds. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the ink used to print this monster wasn't industry-manufactured, bu...
I took my time with this book. Read it inbetween other stories. I think I would have disliked it more if I had tried to read it in one go. This is supposed to be an ode to Richard Laymon. What it is is a collection of mostly 2nd rate stories with an amazing middle section of rarities by Laymon. Few of these stories had anything to do with his style. My favorites were the ones that actually extended on his stories. With few other exceptions, the book was forgettable.
Richard Laymon is one of Horror's best authors, and this book includes almost 700 pages of fiction written in honor of Laymon. If the horror genre interests you, then this book is definitely worth a read. The work includes some pictures and interviews. It is an extended tribute to a very effective horror writer.
A great celebration of the Author's life!!!
As a tribute to a writer who died way too young, IN LAYMON'S TERMS is pretty wonderful. However, in terms of the stories themselves, it's fairly mediocre.For me, the best stories were generally the ones written expressly for this collection--stories that mimic Laymon's style and tone. That's what you want in a tribute. However, Laymon himself wasn't exactly the greatest of short story writers, so mimicking his style has some inherent drawbacks.SCAVENGERS by Roger Range is the scariest of the bun...
A Tribute to a Master of Horror - and an Exceptional Human BeingGreat anthology - some old writings from Richard Laymon, and many works inspired by him. Look for reminiscences of how great a guy Laymon was, look for writings from Richard T. Chizmar and others - though buckle your seat belt - these tales are not for the faint of heart. Still - I recommend this!
Задължително четиво за всеки един леймонит по света. Антологията е събрана в памет на Ричард Леймън, или както пише Едуард Лий вътре, за да бъде отпразнуван живота му. Съставител е дъщерята на Ричард – Кели Леймън и подборката на текстовете е впечатляващо добра.Книгата е разделена на три части, като средната съдържа няколко трудни за намиране разказа от самия Дик, както и едно интервю и снимки от личната колекция на Ан Леймън. Разказите са доста добри, дори бих казал по-добри от романите му. Има...
I read it!Finally!This is a great tribute to an author and a wonderful send off by fellow authors in the genre of horror (particularly: splatterpunk). Each of the authors not only shared some memories of Richard Laymon, mostly saying what a great guy he was—but also had a story submitted in hopes of having Dick approve. Cool, huh? Every one of them were great fun to read. I think the Dick would approve...Some of the pages toward the center are bordered in black. They contain a lot of Richard Lay...
3.5 stars. This was a pretty decent tribute. This good sized collection features numerous authors who either knew Laymon personally or simply enjoyed his work. These contributors each give their personal recollections as to how Laymon impacted their lives before offering up a short story in his honor. Most of the stories are pretty good, some are just okay, and there are only two or three in the collection that I would say sucked outright. I'll admit, I got busy with life and put it down for a g...
