Die Entscheidung das Auto „für die paar Minuten“ nicht zu verschließen, wird ihm zum Verhängnis. Denn als er wiederkommt, hat es sich Duke schon auf dem Beifahrersitz gemütlich gemacht. Und mit Duke sollte man es sich nicht verscherzen. Außerdem muss Norman dann auch noch die hässliche Boots, eine Anhalterin in viel zu engen Klamotten, mitnehmen, die ihm die Jungfräulichkeit nicht nur im herkömmlichen Sinne nimmt. Pamela wollte eigentlich nur einen gemütlichen Abend mit ihrem Mann verbringen, als ein ehemaliger Schulkamerad in ihr Haus eindringt, ihren Mann ermordet und das Haus danach anzündet. Sie selbst will er in die Wüste verschleppen, damit er sie ganz für sich allein hat. Beide Parteien gelangen in das kleine Kaff Pits, das insgesamt 6 Einwohner zählt und deren Bewohner ein schreckliches Geheimnis hüten. Krach. Bumm. Peng. Was war das denn? In gewohnter Art rast Laymon durch die Geschichte, hält an keiner Stelle an und nimmt keine Rücksicht auf die Bedürfnisse des Lesers. Zur Ruhe kommt man nicht, aber will man das überhaupt? Zwei Geschichten, die irgendwie aufeinanderprallen, deren Charaktere sich zu einer einzigen Geschichte vereinen, die aus Wahnsinn, Mord und Sex besteht. Eben noch war ich in der Mitte des Buches, schon hatte ich das Ende erreicht. Psychoterror vom Feinsten. Into the Fire is definitely not one of Richard Laymon’s better novels. His writing is typically top notch, but this novel has characters that aren’t believable or likeable, who make stupid decisions. The plot is not remotely credible, and the story slowly spirals to a slow death. There are a couple of separate story lines at work. One of them involves a trio of young adults who decide to go on a crime spree with lots of sex and fleeing from the scene of the crime. The main character in this trio is Norman, who is a winy, unlikeable wimp who doesn’t want to commit the crimes but goes along anyway, which is perfectly logical. If you are a person who is not committed to be a criminal it’s highly improbable that you would just go along for the ride. The second ridiculous story line involves Pamela, who is kidnapped by a guy who obsessed over her during high school. She is rescued by a person who is more of a robot than a human being. The ending of the novel where the story lines come along is just absurb. This is definitely a Laymon novel to skip. Carl Alves – author of Blood Street sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
One moment Pamela is a newly-wed with a loving husband and a comfortable home. The next, she's the prisoner of a killer who has lusted after her since high school - and now intends to make her his slave. Norman wouldn't say boo to a goose, so he's never going to throw bad-boy Duke out of his car or say no to Boots, the hyper-sexed hitch-hiker who tags along for the ride. Together the lawless pair take him on a wild journey that looks like it's heading straight for the electric chair. But when the glory bus comes along there's hope of salvation for all. Pamela and Norman are just two who climb on board. They don't know their destination is the furnace heat of the Mojave Desert, where a special welcome awaits the weary traveller. It can't be worse than what's gone before. Or can it? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Anyone that's read any Richard Laymon will know just what a wonderful example of 'b-movie in novel form' his books are. If you enjoy the old tongue in cheek, sexploitation type movies then give this a try. Two different storylines collide in a little pseudo town called Pits where everything is exactly as it seems. The characters are fun and Norman surprises more than I'd have imagined when i started out.
Recommended, as long as you accept the sexiness which is even more prominent here than in most of his books. ( )
