About this listen

No one in town has ever seen anything like it: a slimy, mobile tube of glistening yellow flesh with dull, staring eyes and an obscene, probing mouth. But the real horror is not what it looks like, or what it does when it invades your flesh - but what it makes you do to others.

Love Laymon! Excellent book!

As a story it was ok. A little on the trite side maybe. The one thing I'm hoping for with the next audio book I listen to (not from this author), is not to hear the word "breasts"!! At all!! With "nipples" running a close second! I'm far from being a feminist, and certainly no prude; but to hear the word at least 3 or 4 times a chapter (at least) is just a little irritating. Could Mr Laymon not have found other nouns to use during his frequent and often detailed descriptions? Ah well - guys you're going to love it!!

Definitely written with fellas in mind!

Classic and typical Laymon - an easy listen but acquired taste. Very male oriented but does create some unique characters. Narrator did a decent job for the first two thirds - not as 'robotic' as some listeners have said - but by the final third of the book (or maybe sooner...), his female voices will most definitely grate on you.

Otherwise, if Laymon is your thing, 'Flesh' won't disappoint.

Typical Laymon, average narrator

Long winded with too much emphasis on boring detail. Flashes of promising action scenes that soon fizzle out. Felt compelled to speed up the narration as the voice actor sounded half asleep.

Disappointed

The strory was as expected from Laymon. General slasher type stuff with a lot of sexual references. The voice artist was awful though. Poor pronunciation, missed inflections, flat emotion and zero acting. Almost sounded robotic and ruined the experience.

Good story, bad reading

I first read "Flesh" almost 15 years ago and decided enough time had passed so I could listen to the audio version. For fans of the genre it is classic Laymon, fast paced, little exposition, full of gore and sex and strong female lead.

My biggest issue with this audible presentation though is the narration, it took me almost three weeks to get through as it sounded like the sentences had been computer generated, characterisations were terrible and at one stage I thought part of the chapter was missing as it ended so abruptly. So disappointing and I would definitely not purchase if you're wanting to start listening to Richard Laymon, he will be turning in his grave.

In short a good story ruined by a terrible narration.

Fast Paced, terrible narration

Laymon brings B-movie, fast paced gore, great story telling, lots of sex and POV's from characters that make them leap from the page. He seems to have a strange obsession with them taking showers tho...
You can't beat Laymon, everything a 14 year old horny adolescent with a love of horror needs, and that's when I first discovered his books. Epic fun!

Decent enough story but the person reading it is dreadful, sounds like a robot, no emotion and terrible pronunciation

Awful narration

surely this was not read by a human, that dead voice! totally ruined the book for me which wasn't great anyway. I returned to Laymon having not read one of his books in yeaaaaars. regret it so terrible!

omg who is this?
