Book Reviews of Endless Night

Book Review: A gruesome horror novel for diehard genre fans.
Summary: 4 Stars

I won't lie to you here--this is not a GREAT novel. Were you expecting it to be? I doubt it. Although, I must admit, Richard Laymon was capable of writing some strand-out novels ("The Travelling Vampire Show" and "Island" among them). This is, never fear, a GOOD novel--especially a good horror novel.

Jody is sleeping over at her friend's house. It's all well...until she shes her friend impaled on a spear. And then all hell breaks loose. Jody and her friend's little brother Andy manage to escape...but that's just the beginning. First, there's the pursuit. And there's the waiting. Becuase the killers will catch up...and they'll want to have some fun...

Then there's Simon. He's the guy who's been assigned to find Jody. Which is perfectly alright with Simon, because he has an agenda of his own, which he relates to the readers as he narrates his sections of the book. You see, Simon just may be sicker and crazier than his colleagues...and he'll stop at nothing to capture Jody.

There is one thing going for this novel that most other horror novels lack: suspense. Richard Laymon wove suspense into everything he wrote. Few can match him when it comes to edge-of-your-seat storytelling. If for that reason alone, you should buy this book.

"Endless Night" is a bit gruesome, I'll admit. It had my stomach churning in a couple of spots. But it is a good, fast read. A bit darker than Laymon's last published novels have been (although, as any fan can tell you, he can get pretty sadistic at times), and a bit more haphazzard, but "Endless Night" is still a novel for horror fans, or Laymon's new legions of fans (of which I am one). It's a thrilling, gory ride...one that will have you at the edge of your seat the entire time.
