There’s also Kirkus, a gay acquaintance who makes no secret of the fact that he’s hot for Ed.
This, and the many subsequent nighttime walks Ed takes around his neighborhood, sets into motion a whole slew of unforeseen occurrences.įirst there are the women, no less than three of whom wind up competing for Ed’s affections: Holly’s unpredictable friend Eileen, the mysterious night stroller Casey, and Lois, a maternal yet sexually alluring insomniac. One night in October, shortly after learning that Holly has taken up with another guy, the heartbroken Ed decides to take a nocturnal stroll. The first person protagonist is twenty-year-old Ed, who’s trying to get over the fact that his girlfriend Holly has dumped him. Like quite a few (if not most) of Laymon’s novels, it pivots on horny young people, is related in startlingly immediate minute-by-minute fashion, and is a damn satisfying read overall. This, the first posthumously published novel by the late Richard Laymon, is extremely representative of Laymon’s work in many respects.
