Endless Night was written by Richard Laymon it’s about a sixteen-year-old Jody and a twelve-year-old boy are the only two survivors when a gang of killers breaks in and slaughters everyone in sight. But now one of the killers is out to remove the only living witnesses. Protagonists include Jody, Andy, Sharon, and Jody’s Father. Antagonists include the band of psycho killers the main one is named Simon. When I picked this up the book cover didn’t make me want it anymore or any less. I would recommend this pick to the people who would like to have a good thrill, but be cautioned by the language and very explicit scenes. This book is very sexually graphic. ( )

After recently reading 2 other Richard Laymon books that I didn't particularly like (Island & Cuts), I was a bit wary of this one. I honestly didn't expect to like it, but was quite surprised at how much I did enjoy it. I'm glad I gave it a chance. Laymon has some really sick & scary people in his books, but this one was well-written in my opinion. I look forward to trying more of his books. ( )

I really enjoyed the book, however; I was disappointed by the ending. ( )

I read it cover to cover in one day. It was very gruesome and disturbing in some parts, but it was fast-paced and a good read. This was my first book by Laymon, and I will definitely read another by him. You really feel for the characters, Jody and Andy, especially with what they went through in the start of the book. I would recommend it it if you like horror mixed with suspense and have a day to read it!! ( )

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. ( )
