No Sanctuary: Richard Laymon

She likes to break into people's homes and live there while they're away. Too bad for her she picked the home of a serial killer - a particularly nasty one who likes to take his victims out to the wilds of Fern Lake so he can have his fun without being interrupted. Rick and Bert have no idea how wild the wilderness can be. But they're about to find out...Cover art by Steve Crisp. -

It is a hot, August morning in the summer of 1963. All over the rural town of Grandville, tacked to power poles and trees, taped to store windows, blowing along the sidewalks, fliers have appeared announcing the mysterious one-night-only performance of The Traveling Vampire Show, featuring Valeria, the only known vampire in captivity. According to the fliers, she is a gorgeous, stunning beauty. In the course of the performance, she will stalk volunteers from the audience, sink her teeth into their necks and drink their blood! Teenagers Dwight, Rusty and Slim know it won't be easy getting in to see these wonders - the show is only for over 18s and they can't pass for that. And the performance starts at midnight - way past their curfew - and then there's the ten bucks admission fee. But what's to stop them hiking out to Janks' Field and watch the set-up? Maybe they'll catch a glimpse of the gorgeous Valeria - there can't be any harm in that, surely...? Cover art by Steve Crisp. -
