![]() Donna and Sandy are still involved in the story, but their roles are diminished. The Beast House picks things up a year later. Donna’s child molesting husband, Roy, had been released from prison, so she and Sandy fled up the coast to Malcasa Point, home of the Beast House. ![]() In the previous book, the central characters were Donna Hayes and her young daughter Sandy. The present owner, Maggie Kutch, lost her family to the Beast back in 1931 and, realizing the money-spinning potential of the place, she turned it into a museum and has been conducting guided tours of the house ever since. The first Beast House killing spree happened in 1903, when Lillian Thorn owned the property, but that was just the start. ![]() So if sex and horror offend you, it might be best to avoid taking a tour of the Beast House or delving into The Cellar. I must warn you though, neither book is suitable reading for the faint-hearted. The first book is called The Cellar and although it would be possible to read The Beast House as a stand-alone novel, reading The Cellar first provides a better understanding of the story. The Beast House is the second book in Richard Laymon’s Beast House series. ![]()
