Status Updates From Der Gast

I am really enjoying the drama of the three young people trying to outwit the sadistic murderers, and yes it would be plural if they are right about their assumptions. This is an entertaining selection from Laymon's catalog in my opinion. I enjoy his shots of humor injected into the narrative. Plan to finish Body Rides tomorrow. Also refer to the knowledgable discussions taking place on Discussion Thread.

Didn't make much progress today due to being wiped out from a procedure, still sleeping and dizzy. Anyway. I really liked 28 year old Neal at the beginning more than now. I might have gotten carried away at 18 but NEVER at let's say 28. But Alan will tell you there's always female mammary glands and testosterone driven good guys and some really bad guys as well. I am getting antsy for different kinds of action!

Reached the halfway mark and our sight seeing couple get stuck on the very top of the roller coaster when there is a power outage. The couple were getting to know each other better when the lights burst on and the roller coaster resumed its vertical dive. The story.has maintained my interest..I like the paranormal element.

Buddy Read for Splatterpunk. Enjoying the read and think the group picked an interesting selection from Laymon's numerous novels to choose. I like the protagonist albeit the 28-year-old "heart in the right place" young man is a bit immature for his age. The paranormal twist makes for some interesting twists and turns in the narrative.

I got into reading back in the day thanks to the horror genre but have not read much horror in the last 25 years. I’ve decided to give it another go by returning to an old one from the 90s. No idea how it will hold up now I’m not an impressionable young teen but I always liked the magic hook in this tale so I’m going to hope for the best!
