Title: The Cellar
Author: Richard Laymon
Published Year: 1980
Pages: 309
Richard Laymon is not an author for people that cannot handle gore and so-called taboo topics. He does not hold back in his writings and intertwins tales of the paranormal world with those of the worst of human kind.
In The Cellar he takes us on the journey of a mother who is running away from her husband who has just been released from prison. The husband was in prison for raping their young daughter. He has promised he will come after the pair once they get out of prison.
While on the run, they end up wrecking their car and end up in a small town that is home to the famous Beast House. The famous Beast House is home to a beast that has killed many people who have lived in the home and others that have broken in after dark.
Blending the two storylines brings a reality and fear and clashes it directly into a paranormal mystery. It brings a real feeling to the otherwise not normal mainstream issues in life.
