horrible narrator

I think I would like this book, but couldn't get past the horrible, stilted performance of the narrator. Looks like I will have to buy a hard copy.

The second Laymon novel

So my first experience with Laymon was the traveling vampire show. I new of his reputation before hand. And listening to this I’d say that it has all his strength and weaknesses. Dude knew how to write a page turner I’m almost always wondering what’s going to happen next. Briefly the story is about two girls and a family who visit a small town in California we’re the locals kidnapped them and offer them up as sacrifices to a clan of canibelistic goons none as the krulls. As luck would have it. One of the towns people has a thing for one of the girls and wants to get into her pants and comes to the rescue. As the father try to rescue his family. He becomes a goon it’s a great concept but it’s got Laymons normal Pervy writing he will throw in tits all the time witch gets old. No one in a Laymon novel acts normally. But his books is like reading a fun b movie

Great idea for a story but went<br />nowhere

This story had so much potential but it fell flat. Inbred, cannibal hillbillies could have been so scary but instead it was ridiculous. The narration was awful. I almost stopped listening because of the narrators flat, halting way of reading. I expected much more from this author who has given me real nightmares before.

Not what I expected.

What did you like best about The Woods Are Dark? What did you like least?

Hmmm, not sure, it was kind of creepy, but interesting.

If you’ve listened to books by Richard Laymon before, how does this one compare?

No I haven't

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Hmm, he was good I thought.

Any additional comments?

It was a different kind of story for me.

Would have been perfect if not for narration

I did not think it was going to be so brutal going in, but it was and I loved it. the things that happen in this story are truly savage and it's a delight to read. Unfortunately; the narrator was not very good at all. I almost stopped listening in the beginning. I'm glad I stuck it out though. the book is worth it despite that.

Vegan is definitely a possibility now..

Weak stomach?
Strongly moral?
Awkward about sexual fetishes?
*steer clear of this book*
Open minded?
Basically an 'IDGAF' type?
Enjoy random black humor?
*buddy, sit back and prepare to have your mind demolished*
(I enjoyed this very much but im aware of serious issues I might have now)

I don't get the ending. very confused

itc ws a very confusing story. and I'm still not sure what happened. it kept me interested, but only because I ws trying to figure it out

Reads Like a Sick Porno

Got this thinking it might be a creature feature horror. This is nothing more than a porno, laced with grotesque violence. Rape, murder, pointless sex, and a complete lack of logical character emotion in favor of gratuitous sex. Snuff piece, nothing more.

Nuttier than all get-out

from the first paragraph on, its like aliens wrote this. no one acts like a human being would. you could scuba dive through the plot holes in this

Creepy but a little hard to follow

I had to restart the book a handful of chapters in because I wasnt payimg enough attention and I was lost
