The Richard Laymon Collection, Volume 9: Endless Night / Midnight's Lair

Richard Laymon Collection #9

by Richard Laymon

Mordock's cave is one of the spectacular wonders of the world... a place where sightseers can take a ride deep beneath the earth's surface to marvel at Nature's handiwork. But the darkness is also the home of things Nature never intended--things violent, bestial, and horrific...

Now a sudden power failure has trapped a group of tourists in the underground depths. Their only escape route is through a sealed-off wall. But what lurks on the other side is something terrifying beyond belief--an obscene, living evil that has been waiting all these years to be set free...

First read this back in 1988. Just reread it. Utter nonsense.

A crazy plot about a bunch of Nutjob cannibals living in a cave? Why not!

I liked this and it was not what I was expecting at all. It just got weirder and more shocking as I went 😂 we went from stuck in a cave, to dead bodies, to pure ass cannibalism 😂

It was a good one, the writing kept me interested and I enjoyed the storyline, could have done without the weird blossoming romance amongst the dining over body parts though!
