Product Description

Rick would do anything for his girlfriend Bert. He'd even spend his vacation in the wilderness, walking the trails around Fern Lake. After what happened last time, it's the one place in the world he'd prefer not to go. But Bert is a woman with a passion for the outdoors - and a passion for other things too. Rick would follow her to hell and back - which is what he's about to do. Gillian is off on vacation too, only her idea of a holiday is a little weird. She likes breaking into people's homes while they are away and living there. Pity that this time she chances on the home of a serial-killer. The kind of guy who likes to take his female victims out into the wilderness for his fun. Rick and Bert are not the only ones heading to Fern Lake...

Customer Reviews

Another great
Wow - talk about gripping... There are two stories that end up crashing together spectacularly!

Firstly there is Gillian, who has a strange hobby - she breaks into peoples houses and lives there whilst they are away. Sadly, this hobby has dire consequences when she chooses the wrong house to break into. Poor Gilliam find herself in the house of a madman - will she get out of this one!

Then there are Bert and Rick, who innocently go on a camping trip to Fern Lake. The trip starts well, with the only hinderance being a couple of 'mouthy' lads who seem to follow them for a while. Rick is extremely uneasy - he has not told Bert about the time he came camping with his Father and Step Mother... maybe if he had they would not have ended up in the awful situation that they find them selves in.

No Sanctuary has so many twists and turns that it will hold your interest throughout. Just when you think 'I know whats coming next' something completely different happens! The way these two stories come together is magic.

This is definately a real page turner, you shouldn't miss the chance to read this book!

Pure Brilliance!!
This is definetly a treat for those Richard Laymon fans out there. If like myself, you enjoy a good read and a bit of a thrill then this is the book for you. You follow two separate stories which unexpectedly collide and its brilliant.

Yet again another superb piece of writing from the late Mr. Laymon.

brilliant!
He has his very own writing style - well, most of the better authors do but Laymon's is really unique. No one writes like him. His novels are always gory, there's always a lot of violence, people are being stalked, women are getting raped. It's always the same situation - people are being victimized in the worst ways imaginable, because some seemingly tough guy/guys think it's funny and they get away with it. They might, for a while, but eventually someone will stand up to them and fight back.

Laymon is very creative and comes up with the most far-fetched and unbelievable theories, but the way he describes things, they usually start to sound at least possible quite quickly. Laymon also injects a large portion of (black) humour into his stories. The message is clear - Trust no one. Everyone out there could be a potential killer/rapist/psychopath trying to get you.

I've read 30 Laymon novels and I must say, I'm much more careful now. I certainly make sure all the doors and windows are locked at night! I especially loved The Travelling Vampire Show, Funland and Fiends.
