 Amara - Richard Laymon
 Amara - Richard Laymon ... lies in her coffin in the Charles Ward museum. Dead these 4000 years, now she's just an inanimate bundle of withered skin and desiccated bone. Or is she? When Barney the nightwatchman discovers that the mummy's coffin has been broken open, it seems grave-robbers are at work. It's a pity Barney and the guards can't tell the authorities how the mummy came to be missing. But the dead can't testify to anything. Now Amara is free again, driven by an ancient need that can only be assuaged at the cost of human life, and nothing can kill her - for she is dead already.Newest Review: ... princess who is brought to life some thousands of years later and leaves a trail of terror and destruction in her path.

Definitely my least favorite Laymon book as i felt it did not meet his target audience. Basically the story centers around an egyptian princess who is brought to life some thousands of years later and leaves a trail of terror and destruction in her path. The story itself is very far fetched and i actually only continued reading because i am such a die hard Laymon fan and had hoped the story would pick up...however it did not.There seems to be too many loose ends which are not necessarily tied up by the end of the book. Mixed reviews have been found for this book but i think it depends on your opinions of Laymon. If this is one of your firt Laymon books you may well enjoy ... Read the complete review
