Yorkshire Evening Press 'Richard Laymon doesn't disappoint with his latest offering.' Peterborough Evening Telegraph ''So fastpaced you find yourself reading it at the speed of a bullet from a gun...a rollercoaster ride of fear' Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'No one writes like Laymon and you're going to have a good time with anything he writes' Dean Koontz 'This author knows how to sock it to the reader' The Times! If you've missed Laymon you've missed a treat' Stephen King! 'A brilliant writer' Sunday Express· 'AMONG THE MISSING is strikingly different. From the chilling opening...we are plunged into a disturbing world of twisted psychopathology' The Times 'There's not a crime novelist around who writes cleaner prose than Laymon - and few who can jack up the tension the way he does...Laymon likes to grasp readers by the neck with expert word-smithery! then haul them into a diabolical situation...once again! Laymon offers unexpected! well-rounded characters blown about in a narrative that moves like the wind.'

And in any case, Janks Field, where the show will take place, has been declared off-limits because of its own sinister history. But they can't just sit at home and let Valeria do her thing without them, can they?THE TRAVELLING VAMPIRE SHOW is Richard Laymon's masterpiece - an evocative, nostalgic trip back to a time when innocence comes face to face with life's darker forces.
