Flesh

De: Richard Laymon

Narrado por: Maynard McKillen

No one in town has ever seen anything like it: a slimy, mobile tube of glistening yellow flesh with dull, staring eyes and an obscene, probing mouth. But the real horror is not what it looks like, or what it does when it invades your flesh - but what it makes you do to others.

narrator could have done better

the narrator was lacking and the way the audio was edited made the story a little confusing at points.

Good but not the best

This is not Laymon's best book at all, far from it but being a Laymon fan I liked it quite a bit all things considered.

Might as well have been read by a robot...

I don't want to be rude or callous, but this was legitimately a tough book to finish - solely because the narrator was so distracting. Maybe it was his cadence, or monotone-ness, or some other facet of his speech that made this difficult. I listened to this at 1.35x speed and it still felt slow. I think I'd recommend an even faster speed if you really are willing to give this a shot.

The story was pretty good, not great but definitely worth a read. I do suggest reading it yourself though and not trying the audible version because of the reasons I stated above.

This was my second Richard Laymon book and I'm finding I do like his work it seems. Next book is The Traveling Vampire Show. Hopefully that provides a better audible experience.

Flesh For Fantasy

Another twisted Laymon tale. It’s hard to comment without being a spoiler. Laymon writes with his usual unique flare creating a plot that puts his characters in evil predicaments.

Narration is so-so.

great horror/suspense entertainment..BUT..

i enjoyed the story,characters and interaction..but so much goes left unexplained?Will there be a sequel book?The narrator was okay,but ive heard Maynard McKillen perform better in other audio books!If there is a sequel i hope he narrates again but give him a few shots of tequila to loosen him up lol

Good but not his best

Really like Richard Laymon, but the story took a lot longer to tell than it should have.

good book but

I'm a fan of the author but the narrator was no good. At times he was great and others he was as flat as a computer

Horrible narrator but decent story

Struggled to finish only because the narrator reads like the voice from a computer that reads what you type out loud.

among ocks

and so does this book! Listen to it now or a puppy will die. No puppies were harmed in the writing of this review.

this guy rules

weird, gory, unsettling, and the narrator does a great job making you hate a creepy dude. King/Bentley Little adjacent for sure
