Darkness Tell Us
Author: Richard Laymon
It started as a game. Six college kids at a party. Then someone suggested they try the Ouija board. The board that Corie had hidden in the back of her closet and sworn never to touch again. Not after what happened last time. Not after Jake's death... — They were only playing around, but the Ouija board worked, all right. Maybe too well. A spi...  more »

Wow...Laymon has a real talent for surprising and horrifying you. You will be on the edge of your seat to see who survives and who doesn't. As other reviewers have mentioned, the story concerns a group of college students who set out to find a treasure promised to them by a spirit they contact on a Ougi board. The board directs them to several small treasures and they trust it and head off camping in a deserted part of the woods. Here, they run into danger and the mysterious past of one one of them is revealed- a past which comes back to haunt the students.

A thrilling, exciting read...like all of Laymon's.

Not as much action as I'm used to from Mr. Laymon but I did enjoy the concept. Good reading!

In this book we have six college kids, Lana, Keith, Doris, Glen, Howard, and Angela, celebrating the end of their summer semester at Corie's place, their professor. They get the Ouija board game out for fun and meet a spirit named Butler. Before they know it they are sneaking off to the mountains on an adventure to look for treasure. Corie is worried about the kids after what happened to her late husband Jake last time she used the Ouija board, so she goes after the kids with Chad, her former brother in law, who just happened to show up on this particular night after disappearing many years ago. Add to the mix some romantic subplots, a few character back stories, and a sadistic madman, and you have a good read. This is not my favorite Richard Laymon, not as much sex and gore as is typical in his books, but still a good read. I would recommend it!

Richard Laymon is such a great writer! This book literally raised the hair on the back of my neck for nearly the entire story! It was creepy, fun and very exciting! His writing really sucks you into the story, making the unbelievable utterly believable. It is a great, summery (the perfect book for camping!) fun.

I couldn't get into this book. It was very slow, not a lot of action until the last 6 chapters or so. Just really didn't care for it.
