![]() ![]() ![]() Family takes vacation in secluded mountainous area where local legend speaks of cannibalistic cave creatures who feast on the unsuspecting, but Clark - who for some reason I always thought was female until recently - has a paint-by-numbers prose-style that did nothing to draw me in or make me care one whit about the characters. I'm not one to turn my nose up at the trashier side of horror, including ole' Dick, but this is pretty much a run-of-the-mill, d-grade Laymon story minus the gratuitous, perverted thoughts of every single character ever. The only people I could see considering this a gem would be those who love Richard Laymon. I've been wanting to score a (reasonably-priced) copy of this for years, as I vaguely remember it having had a bit of a reputation in the horror fiction community back in the day as being some sort of hidden, disturbing gem. ![]()
