The Richard Laymon Collection Volume 15: The Travelling Vampire Show & Dreadful Tales

THE TRAVELLING VAMPIRE SHOW is coming to town and Dwight, Rusty and Slim are determined to go. But it’s for over 18s only. They decide to go and watch the crew set up anyway, hoping to catch a glimpse of Valeria, billed as ‘the only known vampire in captivity’. But when the three teenagers break the rules, they run into big trouble.

DREADFUL TALES Shane Malone sits sweltering in front of his computer, trying to write an anthology in which every chilling tale must end in the death of a twenty-two-year-old woman in her apartment. But the deafening music from next door is not helping. He furiously bangs on his neighbour’s door and discovers she’s a twenty-two-year-old woman who will not be argued with. Shane is about to find out that life really can imitate art.
