Author, Richard Laymon

Stephen King and Thomas Harris have always been my go-to horror/thriller/supernatural authors.

But my friend mentioned Richard Laymon and thinks he is just as good if not better than King, and thinks I would love his work.

I've never read anything by him before. Anyone read any of his stuff? Interested to see some other viewpoints

Haven't heard of him, but I'm intrigued now.

I've read a lot of Richard Laymon's books. Personally I think he is better than Stephen King. He's my go to for horror books. His books tend to be gory and graphic though.

Since I wrote this post I have read Body Rides and Funland... Both of which were amazing, but still believe King is better... as I read more Laymon books that opinion may change, we will see!
