The story starts out OK but by the end becomes very improbable. Yes, I know it's Richard Laymon and the improbable happens, but this takes it a little too far. It becomes laughable rather than scary. The big thing which ruins it though are the typos. Misspelt words, letters missing off the ends of words. It's pretty poor stuff by the publisher. It might just be in the digital version of the book but, really, someone should be checking and correcting this. Not Laymon"s best and certainly not the publishers.
