The Midnight Tour ( Beast House chronicles book 3)
By Richard Laymon
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
The midnight tour of the Beast House begins on the stroke of midnight on Saturday nights only. On this particular midnight tour, 13 unlucky tourists are joined by an unexpected visitor and they'll be lucky to get out alive.
I thought this was the best so far by a long shot! The only thing keeping me from speeding through it was the Olympic Games ! I loved the development and I think I’m starting to get his writing style although he always manages a completely irrelevant scene in each book! I’m definitely going to be reading the last one and more.
And, I have to say, this largely follows the same structure as the mid part of JRR Tolkien's magnus opus, with the companions split into several groups, and of on several inter-connected quests.
As with the first book in the series, the characters are largely cardboard cut-outs, with it being in the world building where the novel excels. Of the companions, I also know that we are meant to associate with Tanis Half-Elf the most (or Raistlin), but I have to say: I've always had a soft spot for Sturm Brightblade the most!
