THE TRAVELING VAMPIRE SHOW. Come and see - the one and only known VAMPIRE in captivity. – VALERIA - Gorgeous! Beguiling! Lethal!


This is a coming of age story. The entire story unfolds over the course of one day, and one long night. Three local teenagers desire nothing more than to see, ‘The Traveling Vampire Show.’

Richard Laymon writes with a fluid sense of ease, his prose flow effortlessly allowing the reader to feel comfortable within the world of his text. This allows for a quick and satisfying read.

The character development is engrossing and charming. You learn to hate, as well as love the people you meet as the day slowly shifts to night. The subtle tension the author creates as the day proceeds is top-notch, but the payoff awaits the reader in the final chapters.

I have only read one other coming of age story that surpasses this one, “Boy’s Life” by Robert McCammon. In my opinion, that really say’s something about this book. For those of you who have read “Boy’s Life” you’ll definitely enjoy, The Traveling Vampire Show’

All horror fans.
