Many prominent horror novelists, such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz, are known to have praised Laymon's works. Laymon also published several works under the pseudonym Richard Kelly. He won this award posthumously in 2001 for The Traveling Vampire Show. His novel Flesh was named Best Horror Novel of 1988 by Science Fiction Chronicle, and both Flesh and Funland were nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. Laymon is somewhat lesser known in North America than elsewhere, as he achieved much of his success in Europe, particularly the United Kingdom. Most of his writings were firmly in the horror genre. His works include more than sixty short stories and more than thirty novels, many of which were published posthumously in the United States. Richard was married to Ann Laymon, and had one daughter, Kelly. He received a BA in English Literature from Willamette University in Oregon and an MA in English Literature from Loyola University in Los Angeles. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and lived as a child in California.
