I liked this book a lot. Enough that I have ordered the sequel, and am anxious to know what happens next. It was a page turner and a quick read. I didn't find it scary, gory, or graphically sexual, as reviewers have said in other publications of this book. However, I read pretty graphic books so there is a good chance that some may find this book to be disturbing. There are some unusual things about this book and the imagery is amazing. It is clearly one of Laymon's earlier works (first published in 1980) and is the first in the Beast House series. I would recommend it to any horror fan.
