Order of Richard Laymon Books

Richard Laymon (1947-2001) was an American author known for his horror and suspense novels, often associated with the splatterpunk sub-genre. His works are characterized by graphic violence and sexual content, making them unsuitable for sensitive readers. Despite being American, his books found greater success in the United Kingdom. Laymon also collaborated with other writers on historical fiction series under the collective pseudonym Lee Davis Willoughby. His debut novel, The Cellar, was released in 1980, and his last novel, published in 2005, was titled both The Glory Bus and Into the Fire.
