Richard Laymon’s 1988 tale “Midnight’s Lair” was his 28th full length novel to be published. The tale concerns a group of thirty sightseers who take an organised tour around an underground cavern named Mordock’s Cave. During their guided tour, the power fails due to a fire breaking out within the hotel that is located directly above the cavern. The cave is submerged into total darkness, with the tourists left stranded underground. Soon the storyline takes a turn for the more macabre, with gore-fuled horror waiting for these prone individuals. The story starts off in the style of a character driven disaster tale, until before long the storyline takes a swerve towards a much more grotesque and horrifying scenario. As with the vast majority of Laymon’s novels, “Midnight’s Lair” involves two main storylines that run parallel to each other. As the plot continues, the storylines merge, bringing with them a truly horrifying reality. The tale has many similarities to Neil Marshall’s 2005 horror flick “The Descent”. Obviously Laymon’s novel predates this film but quite some time. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if “Midnight’s Lair” wasn’t the original inspiration for the film. Written with Laymon’s usual fast-paced, action packed, no holds bared style of writing, you’ll find the novel difficult to put down at any point, with the next horrifying event just around the next corner. The plot builds well, with regular references to past events that create a well constructed and cleverly developed story. Laymon uses multiple subplots throughout the tale, often revolving around individual characters that are amongst those trapped within the cave. This was achieved with detailed and beautifully developed characterisation that really draws the reader into the plot. With the storyline drawing to a conclusion, Laymon throws in some all out splatterpunk that gives Shaun Hutson or even James Herbert a run for their money. The grand finale to “Midnight’s Lair” really shows the bottomless depths to Laymon’s dark and twisted imagination. This is 253 pages of pure splatterpunk heaven, delivering classic Laymon horror with a no holds barred approach and a reflection of his truly twisted imagination. Absolutely great stuff!

Hilarious and fascinating book about America through a Russian's eyes and Russia through an American's eyes. I can't put it down.

It was like watching an episode of Castle, and it was great! One of the brightest, and most enjoyable, publicity campaign.
I was equally skeptical about this book as I was excited. To call "The next Hunger Games" is a REALLY big deal, I think. And while I wouldn't quite consider Divergent deserving of the title, it still stands on its own and is a great read in its own right. It reminded me of a combination of The Hunger Games and Matched or Delirium. A lot of the same concepts with a different telling. And basically, I loved it. I grew to genuinely care for many of the characters and really appreciated the relationship between Four and Trys. While I love me a good love triangle, it's nice once in awhile to have a break from them. Would definitely recommend this read and while I Kindled it, it's once I do plan to add to my collection on my bookshelf at home as well.

Ahhh, if only this book was required reading before any politician takes office!
This was kind of sci-fi, but still a "girl-book" which is cool, I think, because it's written by a guy.
Very odd ending. I was really in to this book and then the ending fell flat. I had to read it about three times expecting I'd see something different in it but, alas, I guess we don't find out what happens to this american couple living in nairobi.

really a collection of short stories. save for the headliner, all pretty mediocre. definite flashlight reading. 'i am legend' is a pretty fucking great story, though. from what i've heard so far, i don't approve of the film.

A thoughtful friend gave this book to me when she knew of sorrow in my life, dealing with my Mom's breast cancer. When I first started to read it I thought that everyone with a career in health care should read this to help them deal with patients. It's written by a cancer surgeon who has recorded lessons he learned over the years of dealing with 'exceptional' patients. And as I read more I realized that really EVERYONE should read this - it's about SO much more than cancer. It's full of life lessons for everyone. It did take me a little while to read it since it's so full of medical experiences and studies - sometimes it reads like a textbook. But it took me a while mostly because there were SO many amazing thoughts that I eventually had to type them all up. (Yes, I typed up 3 pages of my favorite thoughts from the book - at first to give to my Mom - but really it's for me too, and anyone/everyone.) It's truly amazing how we can heal ourselves of any trouble, not just physical diseases, with love - putting our mind at peace can allow the body to heal itself. So before I write an essay, I'll leave you with one of my favorite thoughts from page 225. "God has given us free will to make love and life meaningful. This creates a critical risk because we now have the ability to destroy our universe if we choose not to love. We have an infinite number of choices ahead, but a finite number of endings. They are destruction and death or love and healing. If we choose the path of love we save ourselves. Let us choose love and life."

همه ما بازیچه اینچنین شوخی های هستیم خودمان می سازیم و با آن زندگی خود را سخت می کنیم اما چه کسی پشیمان است؟ من که نیستم
