Today we are talking about Island by Richard Laymon. One of my top five Laymon books. I have the Leisure edition, published in 2002, but the original 1995 copy has the far better cover. This is a perfect beachy read for those that like wilder fare, and a great way to start off the summer... it's not even June yet but here we are on a deserted island. ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com Bookworm Central on Patreon ▹ https://www.patreon.com/typicalbooks Learn more with the welcome video ▹ https://youtu.be/DGXCa-Bz0o4 I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between.

This is the first Ann Rule book I’ve read and if you have interest in the Ted Bundy case, then The Stranger Beside Me comes highly recommended. Over and above the recent documentaries and films at that. I’ll be reading more Ann Rule, that’s for sure! It may go without saying, but this episode contains mention of his deplorable acts although I do focus on the book and why I liked it so much. #TedBundy #AnnRule #truecrime Books mentioned: The Stranger Beside Me - https://amzn.to/3uzhwxh The Killer Across the Table - https://amzn.to/3c0QwR6 The Last Book on the Left - https://amzn.to/3vtUych Understanding Necrophilia - https://amzn.to/3p4TDgc Theodore Robert Bundy was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped, and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. He eventually confessed to 30 homicides across seven states between 1974 and 1978. Bundy would typically approach his victims in public places, feigning injury or disability before knocking them unconscious and taking them to secluded locations to rape and strangle them. He sometimes revisited his victims, grooming and performing sexual acts with the decomposing corpses until putrefaction and destruction by wild animals made any further interactions impossible. He decapitated at least 12 victims and kept some of the severed heads as mementos in his apartment. On a few occasions, he broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept. ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ I can earn when you shop on Amazon ▹ https://amzn.to/34mJamZ Buy these books locally ▹ https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks Find my books and more at ▹ https://www.amazon.com/author/lydia New to Youtube?

I read two interesting horror novellas recently, and they were very different! The Walking Son by Eddie Generous from The Seventh Terrace and Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca from Weirdpunk Books. The Walking Son is a many-threaded plot that delves into the supernatural, body transformation, and treachery - a lot for a slim volume, but so well crafted. I had a good time reading this, and thank you to Eddie Generous for sending it along. Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is the talk of the town, and deals with online control, deception, and depraved desires. I recommend some reading with this one on contracts in relationships which is one element I've seen little conversation about so far.
