The Cellar by Richard Laymon

Started: 12/11/09
Finished: 12/13/09
Pages: 254
Year: 1987
Genre: Horror
Grade: C
Reason for reading: grabbed it off the TBR pile.
Blurb (from back cover): "Visitors flock to see the Beast House with its blood-soaked corridors and creaky doors. Armed with Instamatics and video camcorders, these poor souls enter the forbidden house, never to return. The deeper the tourists go into the house, the darker their nightmares become. The men are dealt with quickly. The women have to wait longer....first they are tortured and sexually ravished.
"But the worst part of the house is actually beneath the haunted structure. There lies even a more terrifying presence waiting for its next victim. Don't even think about going into The Cellar."
Opinion: Not as good as the blurb indicates. The last chapter is completely pointless and ridiculous. As part of a series, I'm probably NOT going to continue with it.
