Ed Logan can’t wait for his second year at Willmington University. It’s been a long summer without Holly, the girl he gave his heart and soul to last year. In turn, she fell in love with his – at least that’s what she said.
In September, Ed returns to campus. Holly Doesn’t.
On the first of October, Ed receives a letter. ‘Dear Ed,’ it begins, ‘I will always cherish the times we had…’
Holly has fallen in love with someone else and won’t be coming back. Heartbroken, half mad with despair, Ed can’t study, can’t sleep. So he leaves his apartment and takes a walk.
It’s a scary night in the lonesome October and Ed is not alone. There are others out there – roaming the streets, lurking under bridges, seeking prey.
Then he sees the mystery girl…
Night in the Lonesome October is a horror novel by the American author Richard Laymon. Released in October 2001, it was one of several books in the author’s catalogue published posthumously, following his death in February of the same year.
