Body Rides

by Richard Laymon

'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat' Stephen King.

When Neal shoots a man assaulting a woman, as a reward the woman gives him a magic bracelet that enables him to see through other people's eyes and experience their feelings; to take 'body rides'. But the man he shot is not dead - he's alive and breathing vengeance. Neal's only chance of survival is to use the bracelet and go inside his would-be-killer's skull...

This was more entertaining than I expected. Some parts are unbelievable (I rolled my eyes when Marta accepts Sue into their lives so easily), but since the concept of “body rides” itself is so unbelievable, you just have to roll with it. The end is somewhat predictable, especially since one of the characters gives it away (worst foreshadowing evah).
