![]() ![]() ![]() Our hero is Riley Larson (misspelled “Laron” on the back cover), a freelance writer/high school janitor in his early 30s who lives outside of Chicago. It takes a while to get to the good stuff, though. What more could you ask for? The Immortal concerns itself with a Satanic group - not a cult, as the members stress - whose leader turns out to be the titular “immortal,” granting himself this extended life through mysterious means. Thumbing through my other Tigges books, it looks like they’re all the same – big books, big print, and fairly lurid, with a strong focus on horror exploitation, pulpy thrills, and explicit sex. Like most other Leisure horror novels The Immortal runs to a fat 400 pages, but it’s got super-big print and Tigges’s writing is so pulpy and melodramatic that you’ll finish the book in record time. ![]() John Tigges published several horror paperbacks through Leisure Books in the ‘80s I’ve picked up a few over the years, but this is the first I’ve read. ![]()
