The Lake ReviewLeigh is a beautiful woman with a dark past; her 18-year-old daughter, Deana, is equally as beautiful. Deana has a boyfriend...until he is murdered by a psychotic killer in a chef's hat. Suddenly, mother and daughter are thrust into a living nightmare, that will wind up where it began: 18 years ago...
"The Lake" is the first Laymon novel that I did not enjoy reading. Yes, it had its moments--Laymon is a great horror author, and creates suspenseful situations better than anyone else. However, there is a reason this book was not published during his life: it's not finished. Reading the last couple hundred pages, you can tell where Laymon intended--if he were to publish the book--to go back and rewrite things. Some of the writing is actually horrible (and Laymon normally has a good sense of word usage). The plot isn't fleshed out; in fact, it's glued together in some spots...well, probably more like duct-taped. There are times when Leigh and Deana seem like real people, but those instances are few and far between. If Laymon had gone back to this novel, and had finished it, it could've been great; as it is, it was a mistake to publish this. If you have never read a Laymon novel before, do not start here, I beg you. Richard Laymon was one of horror's greatest authors; "The Lake" is probably his worst book. Read "The Traveling Vampire Show," "Island," "Bite," or one of the many other Leisure re-issues. Not this one; it is definitely not representative of Laymon's work.The Lake Overview
