From Dark Regions Press:
The First Ever Special Edition of Richard Laymon’s Classic Horror Novel Night Show Featuring Never-Before-Seen Materials, New Interior Illustrations and Much More!
The late Richard Laymon is considered one of the most influential horror authors of all time, and his classic novel Night Show clearly displays a writer whose career was destined for success. As one of his earlier works published in 1984, Night Show is cited by many Richard Laymon fans as their introduction to the author. Laymon went on to publish more than thirty novels, receiving praise from authors like Stephen King and Dean Koontz and becoming a widely known horror author in Europe (and later in the United States when he signed on with Leisure Books). Richard Laymon later became the president of the Horror Writers Association before his untimely passing in 2001, leaving us with dozens of books full of rich storytelling and memorable characters that fans all over the world celebrate to this day.
This first ever special edition of Night Show marks the first ever hardcover edition of the novel and includes new materials from authors Edward Lee and Steve Gerlach, original wraparound cover artwork and five original interior illustrations by artist Malcolm McClinton, previously unpublished story notes by author Richard Laymon and signatures from authors Edward Lee and Steve Gerlach, artist Malcolm McClinton and editors James R. Beach and Kelly Laymon.
