This is a set of the Beast House Trilogy by Richard Laymon as follows (all are in fine condition):

The Cellar
Awakened by an early morning telephone call, Donna Hayes finds out that Roy has been released from prison. Roy, her ex-husband, is not a nice guy. They don't come much worse than Roy. Knowing he must be on his way, Donna drags her twelve-year-old daughter out of bed. Together, they hit the road. East.

The last thing they want is for Roy to get his hands on them again.

But in racing up the California coast to get away from one danger, they approach another.

The town of Malcasa Point.

And Beast House.

During the day, tourists roam through the old house, led by the scarred and crusty Maggie Kutch. At night, however, the tourists are gone. The house is locked and dark and silent...

At night, it belongs to the beast.

The Cemetery Dance edition features an Introduction by Bentley Little, an Afterword by Richard Laymon, and full-color artwork by Alan Clark. All copies are protected inside a handmade cloth slipcase and signed by Laymon, Little, and Clark

Limited to 500 signed, numbered and slipcased copies (this is #425)

The Beast House
Last summer, while cleaning rooms at The Welcome Inn, young Janice Crogan found the diary of Lilly Thorn -- sole survivor of the 1903 Beast House attacks. Now Janice hopes to strike it rich with the help of author Gorman Hardy. Hardy's previous nonfiction book, Horror at Black River Falls, was a major bestseller. Janice thinks he might write an even bigger bestseller with her help and with the aid of the diary. All she wants is a piece of the action.

In her letter to Hardy, Janice writes, "This diary I found is hot stuff. Lilly Thorn, the woman who wrote it, was the very first person ever to live in Beast House, and she goes into all kinds of details about where the monster came from, and what it's like, and everything. I mean everything. If you believe this, she even had sexual intercourse with it. I don't mean once, but constantly like she was obsessed. It's steamy stuff... The diary also goes into the first murders and let me tell you, this sure is not the way they tell it on the tour!"

Gorman Hardy smells another bestseller.

He's on his way to visit Janice and start his investigation of Beast House.

It'll be a great book.

If he lives to write it.

The Midnight Tour
It is the summer of 1997. Many years have gone by since Janice Crogan's summer of horror. The town of Malcasa Point has changed a lot -- and so has the Beast House tour. Due to several popular books and movies about the infamous house of death, the tour is bigger and better than ever.

The self-guided daytime tour, safe for the whole family, gives the sanitized version of the attacks and murders. If you want the real story, however, you can get it.

Just take the Midnight Tour.

Every Saturday night, for a hundred dollars, you and twelve other guests can participate in the special picnic, private screening of The Horror, and the tour itself.

The tour starts at midnight. Your guide is the spunky young "Tuck," who knows everything about Beast House. As she leads you through the gloomy old house, she'll be happy to tell you all the most grisly, shocking, lurid details about the beast, its weird anatomy, and the horrible rapes and killings that have been committed in the various rooms and corridors, in the attic, in the cellar...

Don't worry, the tour's a little scary and disgusting, but it's perfectly safe.

Usually.
