Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Body Rides is a 1996 supernatural thriller novel by Richard Laymon. It is about Neal, a guy who, while driving through a bad neighborhood late at night, accidentally manages to save a young woman from a deranged sadistic killer. As a reward for saving her life, the woman gives Neal a magical golden bracelet. The artifact allows it's user to exit his/her own body in the form of an incorporeal spirit and enter the bodies of other people to see, hear and feel everything they experience, including their inner thoughts and emotions. This constitutes the titular body ride. At the same time, the rider cannot control a host body in any way, and cannot even communicate with the host mind, being just a passive observer in a passenger seat.Neal, excited and shocked by this sudden gift, tries to figure out what to do next. What he still doesn't know is that the psycho shot by him that night is not quite dead. He survived and wants revenge. Neal, the woman saved by him, and everyone close to him are now all in mortal danger...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Deadly Bath: Both Elise and Vincent meet their grisly end in the same bathtub at the hands of the same killer. One of those instances is a tearjerker, another is Karmic Death.

Decoy Protagonist: Elise is initially played up as a major character and Neal's eventual love interest. She gets a good deal of characterization, she is portrayed very sympathetically, we get to know her inner thoughts and feelings, start being interested and intrigued by her. All the more shocking that she gets murdered in a horrific way before the book even gets to page 100. Discussed in later dialogue, mentioning that she subconsciously considered herself the main star of her own life movie. Unfortunately, it was not her story and she ended up being killed off.
