![]() 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. ![]()
