Product Description

NIGHT SHOW When he was in high-school Tony Johnson locked school beauty Linda Allison in a haunted house for the night. Now he has moved to Hollywood determined to break into horror movies and he’s forgotten all about her. But Linda is a girl with vengeance in her heart – and she certainly hasn’t forgotten him…

ALLHALLOW’S EVE The Sherwood house has been deserted since the horrific killing of a local family in the sleepy town of Ashburg. When invitations to a mysterious party to be held there are sent out nobody is particularly surprised – after all everyone wants to party in a house of death on Allhallow’s Eve.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keep you up until midnight, 6 Mar 2007
By Mr. Ian D. Smith (Worthing, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both stories move you quickly into the action with a rush of interesting and believeable characters. Laymon has a knack of hitting just the right nerve of human lusts and emotions. Night show feels like 'reading a movie' - The pace of story and short chapters keep you wanting to read on and agreat example of the 'dark' storytelling craft.

Allhallow's Eve has a bit of an abrupt ending, which was something I was a touch disappointed by, having raced through the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do I want to read anything else by this author ...... ? , 23 Oct 2008
By P. Smith (Ipswich, Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd never heard of Richard Laymon before I came across this. I thought the title was intriguing - an excellent title, in fact, that made you want to know more - but when I started reading it The Travelling Vampire Show I thought I'd picked up a children's book by mistake. The story seemed to be made up of Americanised Enid Blyton-like dialogue with very little narrative to hold it together. It was all rather "cosy" and full of teenage wonder with a bit of teenage angst thrown in for good measure (the narrator lusting after his sister-in-law, for instance). I suppose it's called "rights of passage" stuff. However, after a while it became apparent that it wasn't meant for children as some rather more graphic adult themes surfaced. The story meandered along for several chapters before getting to the crux - the Travelling Vampire Show itself. This took place at midnight in a very scary place (at least, so far as our teenage heroes were concerned, although the rest of the inhabitants of the town didn't seem to be greatly fazed by it when they arrived to see the show)! This resulted in quite an exciting climax, which was well written, but which was spoilt by a revelation at the end (no - I'm not giving any secrets away) of something completely daft!

I'm quite glad I read it as I found it amusing in places, but I don't think I'll go out of my way to look for anything else by the same author, especially as this volume included his "Dreadful Tales" (short stories) as well. I read the first four or five of those, but they were silly little tales that didn't seem to be getting any better as they went on, so I gave up. The author seemed to have something of an obsession with decapitation which got a bit wearying after a while.

The whole experience of reading The Travelling Vampire Show was very light and was quite amusing in places, so that's why I've given the volume two stars, although one and a half would have been nearer the mark. Had they been less amusing the book and the short stories would only have got one star from me. Over all - a load of twaddle!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost five stars, 15 Jan 2007
By Smokey (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This is a excellent book. Funland is in my top five Laymon books and ive read them all. I would've gave it five stars but I don't think Stake was as good as a lot of his other work. Still an excellent read though.
