Chilling and thrilling
THE TRAVELLING VAMPIRE SHOW/ DREADFUL TALES by Richard Laymon (Headline, pounds 6.99/ pounds 17.99)
HORROR comes to small-town America as master of the macabre Richard Laymon brings on the flesh-eating monsters and ghouls in two new offerings.
Human and supernatural threats lurk in his pages waiting to pounce on readers of a nervous disposition and The Travelling Vampire Show is a scare treat.
A group of young friends find themselves in danger when they are tempted by a poster advertising a show starring a genuine vampire. It sounds like a bit of fun, but soon they find things are not all they seem.
Meanwhile, new hardback Dreadful Tales offers a chilling collection of short stories about homicidal maniacs, vampires and lust-crazed teenagers. The perfect night-time reading for horror fans.
