Ed continues with his nocturnal walks mainly so he can try to meet the young girl he had seen on his first walk. In the mean time, Holly's ex-roommate, Eileen, comes on to Ed and wants to take Holly's place. Ed needed the fresh air but during his walk he starts to encounter all sorts of "night loonies" including an old hag on a bike and a young girl who prowls the night looking for who knows what. It's about a college student, Ed, who goes out on a long walk late at night after his girlfriend Holly dumps him via a "Dear Ed" letter. Night in the Lonesome October included a lot of Laymon's trademarks including lots of sex but was not quite as gruesome as most of his other novels. His books are usually filled with lots of sex and gore with some humor thrown in and are basically written as a male teenage fantasy. I have read several books by Laymon and have to admit he is one of my guilty pleasures.
