READING & RUMPS LAYMON READ-A-LONG!

My co-hosts! ‪@TheBookubus‬ ‪@SlimeAndSlashers‬ ‪@AuthorDLTillery‬ ‪@typicalbooks‬ ‪@HarpiesintheTrees‬

This June, buckle up for a backwoods bloodbath, lusty librarians, haunted basements, and enough bad decisions to fill a swamp. We’re honoring the master of pulpy mayhem, Richard Laymon, with a month-long read-a-long that’s as unhinged as his characters.
Grab a paperback, lower your standards, and prepare to scream, laugh, and possibly blush your way through the carnage.
Scroll down for the prompts and join the madness...

But beware: side effects may include uncontrollable screaming, raised eyebrows, and a full-blown case of Laymania!

☠️ CONTENT WARNINGS ☠️
Richard Laymon writes like no one’s watching... and honestly, maybe no one should be. Expect the following and more:
• Gratuitous gore 💀
• Dubious consent 🚫
• Over-the-top sexual content 🍑
• Horror clichés on steroids 🩸
• Wildly questionable plot twists 🧠
Read responsibly—and don’t say we didn’t warn you.

📖 WEEKLY PROMPTS (or do them whenever—Laymon wouldn’t care)

Week 1: Boobs Before Brains
Read a Laymon scene where hormones override common sense. Bonus points for someone investigating a noise in their underwear.

Week 2: The Basement is Always a Bad Idea
Find a scene where a character enters a creepy space they absolutely should’ve avoided. Why are they like this?

Week 3: The Villain Slaps
Celebrate Laymon’s most over-the-top baddies. Pick your favorite psycho, swamp monster, or possessed creep and share the chaos.

Week 4: Campfire Trash Classic
Wrap it up by picking the most WTF moment from your read and honoring it like the glorious literary trainwreck it is.

🎉 BONUS ACTIVITIES
• Create a Laymon-inspired fake book cover: Think shirtless man, blood splatter, and a tagline like “She just wanted a tan… but got terror instead.”
• Laymon Bingo: Fill your card with tropes like random nudity, evil neighbor, killer in the woods, camp setting, trashy love triangle.
