Publisher's Summary:

A lot lizard is a female hooker who works a highway truck stop as her territory. When trucker Bill Ketter looks for a little relaxation and release, he discovers, too late, that he has bitten off more than he can chew. In fact, his lot lizard is the one that does the biting. She is a vampire, one of a number who move from one truck stop to the next under the watchful and vicious eyes of the repulsive Carsey Brothers.

Against his will, Bill becomes one of the undead. He follows the brothers and their cargo to another stop where he meets his ex-wife and children, and Bill finds himself battling the vampires and their age-old leader for the life of his teenaged son.

Garton has created another small masterpiece, contemporary adult horror at its most gruesome and loaded with extra doses of sex and gore. The confined setting creates a perfect claustrophobic stage for the story and the hellaciously quick pace never lets the action slow down.

A Lot to Like Here

Itâs sometimes tough to gauge whether a reader will enjoy a particular book or not, but you can tell whether a particular person will like Ray Gartonâs âLot Lizardsâ simply by gauging the reaction to this three-word description of the book: Vampire. Truckstop. Hookers. Anyone who doesnât like books that involve one or more of those words will not like âLot Lizards.â On the other hand, readers whose initial reaction to the description is to slap themselves on the side of the head and wonder why no one thought of such a plot theme before will have a lot of fun.

As I learned when I read the book, a lot lizard is a prostitute who frequents highway rest stops and provides temporary professional companionship to the truckers spending time there. In âLot Lizards,â they provide a good bit more than companionship. These lot lizards are vampires who, by day, spend time in a large trailer full of coffins, being driven around by a pair of brothers who operate a long distance moving company. At night, thes brothers park their rigs at a remote truckstop and let their cargo out to feed on their customers. The brothersâ second trailer contains the vampire queen, an extremely powerful creature that has turned the various lot lizards into vampires over the years.

As âLot Lizardsâ begins, this unsavory crew sets up shop in the dead of winter at a rest stop that winds up becoming completely isolated when an auto accident on the main highway closes the road and all the human truckers and other travelers find themselves snowed in. As the night progresses, the humans gradually learn the full extent of the horrors that await them in the truckstop and barricade themselves in the truckstop diner for safety.

For the most part, âLot Lizardsâ is simply a lot of fast paced, action, horror fun, a variant on other works about a group of stranded people such as Stephen Kingâs âThe Mist.â Thereâs plenty of action in âLot Lizards,â some of it rather gruesome, and a few genuinely shocking moments. This book was written in 1991, and the time period plays a major part in the story. For beginners, there were no cell phones, Wi Fi or any type of Internet service back then, so the travelers were definitely stranded with only some unreliable landlines to contact the outside world.
