She’s now happily shacked up with a guy she met over the summer, leaving a broken-hearted Ed to cope with her betrayal the best way he can. The story begins when university student Ed Logan discovers that Holly, his girlfriend from last year, is not returning to complete her education. A very sobering thought, I’m sure you’ll agree. Apparently a few manuscripts were found after his death, but Night in the Lonesome October (which takes its name from Poe’s ‘Ulalume’) was the last book Laymon personally delivered before his untimely death. I felt very sad as I read this book, not because it’s a weepie (as if!), but because it’s one of the last books we’ll ever see from the late Richard Laymon, who died of a heart attack in February 2001.
