Another classic horror novel by 'master of the macabre' Richard Laymon. 'Laymon uses a typewriter ribbon soaked in cold blood' Burt Hirschfeld, author of Fire Island
'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat' Stephen King
The seedy resort of Boleta Bay has seen better days, especially since the unexplained disappearances began.
Now a group of teenagers decide to fight back and clear the town of undesirables. As they grow more daring and vicious, they are drawn to the abandoned Funhouse and the real source of the mystery.
Praise for Funland: More fear than fun...
