Wow

Wow the story was good so dark a very in detail at parts but jesus man overall good
Think the story is going to be impeded into my head for a while....

Laymon at his best.

I have these in paperback, but reading them again was as enthralling as the first. Gripped from start to finish. Laymon makes you believe and feel for the characters.
A true master of his genre.

I dove into this without knowing the time commitment I was making. But the time flew! I read on Kindle format, but I think its about 1400+ pages long, and I think I got through it in two weeks. Great series, and more gory and explicit than some books I've read recently. Found that as a pleasant change up for me. Anxious to read more by Richard Laymon.

Reviewed each book seperately. Overall 5 stars but imo book 4 wasn't really needed. My first time reading this authors work. Have more to read too!

Average laymon.

[Lin Carbajales · Rating 4 out of 5]

Estos recopilatorios de varias novelas son difíciles de puntuar con estrellas, porque lo suyo sería evaluarlas por separado, aunque como en este caso pertenezcan a una misma saga. Además, Richard Laymon siempre me resulta complicado de calificar, casi imposible de recomendar si no es a alguien que ya sepa a lo que se atiene. Como autor tiene sus cosas que no me gustan, pero aun así sus libros son para mí una especie de lectura de confort, por extraño que pueda resultar. Cada cual tiene sus particularidades y ya sé de sobra que soy rara.

En estas novelas no me encontré con la principal pega que le veo a otras obras suyas, un estilo narrativo que se detiene a indicarnos la situación de todo tipo de objetos y a detallar acciones de importancia discutible. Incluso la novela más larga de esta serie, de seiscientas páginas, me pareció ágil y una de las mejores que he leído del autor, sin duda la mejor de estas cuatro.

Acabé de leer el recopilatorio hace casi tres meses, pero anoche en duermevela todavía me sorprendí recorriendo en mi imaginación la casa de la saga. Valoro mucho siempre que una novela de terror logra permanecer en mi mente e inquietarme en esos momentos y he querido ponerle cuatro estrellas. A The Midnight Tour, la tercera novela, le pondría cinco.

The complete Beast House series:
Book One - FIVE STARS - loved it. Really dark and just so very wrong. This is an author being unselfconscious. Just writing the bad guys how they actually are (very bad) and not worrying about offending people's sensibilities. It is horror that makes you uncomfortable and afraid which is what horror should be. The ending is SUPERB.

Book Two - FIVE STARS - loved it. There are so many shocks and twists in this one. Couldn't put it down.

Book Three - can't really rate it. Too long. Skimmed.

Book Four - FOUR STARS - good, but was this really necessary? Ha! At least this was more concise than book three.

Entertaining, wrapped book 3 of series up, left open for potential book 5

Good read, wrapped up book 3, the best of the series well, I read all 4 books together, enjoyed them. Book 1 was good, book 2 repeated some content from Book 1, but probably so it could be read as a stand alone.

Hmmmm

Confusing but an OK read. Doesnt make me want to run out for another Laymon though. I'll stick to Stephen King

[Jenny Robertson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I did not want the book to finish...I really enjoyed it

[Bill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Typical Laymon. Entertaining but definitely written at a time when political correctness did not exist.

[hotsake (André Troesch) · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5/5. This is one of those series' that the whole is better than any of the single books.
