Needless to say, Ed becomes involved with these sinister figures, particularly a mystery girl who will change his life. Leaving his apartment one night for a walk, he finds that he has moved into what might almost be a different world: there are others out on the streets-are they human, these figures who hide in the shadows? Certainly, the prey they seek is marked for a grisly end. Virtually destroyed by the news, Ed struggles to study and even to sleep. He receives a letter which destroys his hopes-she has fallen in love with another man, and won't be coming back. But when Ed returns to campus, Holly doesn't. He's been missing Holly, who he fell in love with the previous year. Laymon's hero Ed Logan is brimming with anticipation for his second year at Willmington University.
Night in the Lonesome October is the first book published since the death of author Richard Laymon, and it is ironic that this is among his richest and most atmospheric pieces.
