Beware

By: Richard Laymon

Narrated by: Charles Bice

Using ancient black magic, a dangerous, vindictive maniac is made all-powerful by his ability to become invisible. Raping and murdering his way around the States, he is biding his time before fulfilling his one desire - to get even with the high school belle who rejected him years before.

Just better than average Laymon

This may be even more rapey than the Laymon usual. With a higher than average boob count as well. That’s not an easy thing to do.

Throw in a good-time sinister cult orgy, some inappropriate invisible shower fun and an appropriately high body count and you have a just better than average Laymon tale.

Some great concepts here, but they just didn't get fully realized. And yes, I still liked it.

Not bad for $5

Other reviewers commented on the rapey scenes and the descriptions of breasts. Remember, this was written in 1985 back when things were looser! The criminal character is a sleaze bag, so no wonder he enjoys raping women. It’s just a story, people. It was a quick listen between parts 2 and 3 of another book.

I really enjoyed it

there are some scenes that are pretty hard to get through.. Gnarly and perverted and disturbing! But other than that.. I went into listening aware of such scenes and those combined with the action and the friendships and the romance and the paranoia and the suspense... Well worth it!

This was twisted

This was disturbing. It kept me guessing until the end. The bad guys were truly evil.

Typical Laymon style

I have read several of Richard Laymon’s novels and this is the first audio version I’ve had. I wish I would’ve discovered Mr. Laymon many, many years ago. I enjoyed this story, maybe not as much as some others, but enough to consider it a worthwhile listen. The narration was OK - not great, but not bad. If you are a fan of Laymon, I think you will be entertained throughout the story.
