Inspired by Dem's listing of this in the disaster novels thread; this is one of my personal favorites.  Back cover blurb: "Twenty minutes before the quake hit, Stanley was ogling Sheila through his living-room window. Now he may be able to do more than just ogle ... Sheila's trapped in her ruined house and her husband and daughter are stranded on the other side of the city. The power's down, the emergency services can't cope and the lawless are combing the ruins. Sheila's fate depends on who can get to her first" I have that lenticular cover! This is a real doorstopper of a Laymon novel but you can tear through it in an afternoon. It's nonsensical, perverse, and there's at least one moment of very bad editing that gets some characters out of a sticky situation. There's also a brief reference to The Fog. |
