LAKE MOUNTAIN makes Keene's Top 10 Reads of 2005.

In Brian Keene's yearly roundup of best novels for 2005, LAKE MOUNTAIN came in at #10! Here's what Brian had to say about the novel:

10. Lake Mountain by Steve Gerlach (Bloodletting Press) Unrelenting, this is another page-turning thriller from the heir-apparent to Richard Laymon's legacy. Seriously, if you dig Laymon, you'll dig this. But here's the thing. It's very easy to compare Steve to Dick. The influence is obviously apparent. But Steve's voice has truly grown with this book. He is his own writer, with his own style that, while offering a nod to Laymon, now becomes something more.
