It was very hard to put down for any reason. It was exciting from the start. For a book it was scary. It is something that could really happen. That was why it was scary. A friend read it and she was so scared she wouldn't read it when her husband wasn't at home!!! It is one of my favorite books. I think it might be time to read it again!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars One night you wouldn't wish for you worst enemy *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2011* I have read over a dozen of Laymon novels and yes by the way I am a fan, when you crave the kind of story that only he writes so well nothing else can satisfy. At least that's how I see it, take a bunch of sympathetic level headed kids, a crazed killer on their tail ( with a very flamboyant but totally cold soul) and you have some page gripping moments, you'd want to read this over the weekend if you have some time to put into this, it's an entertaining ride and it's well embellished for those who like some icky moments. Once again Laymon proves that his well used formula of bad men after pretty girls works to grip the reader, Jody is on a sleepover at a friend's house when noise wakes her up, what happens next is the appetizer of the story which sets up the tone and the urgency for the reminder of the novel, there is no time to breathe nor relax when this wild ride starts, and get used to creepy, crazy and nasty it can appear at any time in Laymon's world. I miss you man, wish you were still around to churn out some more...This story line echoed a bit of Dean Koontz's "Intensity" which was an amazing book, a must read for horror fans, it has that nasty surprise of being in the wrong place at the wrong time but take to another level, you're at your friends house at a sleepover and her whole family except for one boy gets hacked to pieces, talk about picking the wrong night and what it will take to keep your precious life!Jody manages to escape through some well written pages - I was pulling the paper to the point of breakage, but what waits for her next isn't any easier. One person in particular from the bunch of mysterious killers is on her trail, not only is he meant to kill and silence her but he's smitten with her as well, talk about double lousy luck! There are many unlucky houses that he uses to hide in or use something from, and those descriptions were the most interesting in the book because he gets quite creative with all that he finds in each house, the residents included - nothing is wasted, scalps included... but overall the whole story had a quick and crazy pace, there is no rest until the last page. I'm happy that the ending was pretty shocking, it was explosive until the last letter and period sign and sometimes I read an amazing and suspenseful book where the bad buy gets a buh-bye in a page or two after hours of torment, that to me is almost a cop out, this guarantees a satisfying finish, good or bad you judge but it was a great weekend read for those who like a crazy horror book or those who are Laymon fans, enjoy!- Kasia S. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars A typical Laymon plot with extra gore. *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2007* For me, Laymon isn't just the literary equivalent of dessert -- he is the cherry on top. With his fast pace, simple prose, violence and gore, and occasionally complete illogical plot twists, I know I can just shut off my brain and have fun. There's not much to think about here -- you just let Laymon take you for a ride."Endless Night" has a typical Laymon plot -- he takes normal people, puts them in a crazy, violent situation, and then makes them run for their lives.In this case, two kids -- Jody and Andy -- survive a home invasion by a group of psychopaths. The man blamed for their escape, Simon, is tasked with finding them and killing them (first because they are witnesses and then to provide Jody, who everyone sickly lusts for, for some fun and games).The novel starts off brilliantly. As others have noted, Laymon is a master of creating that goosebump suspense. Jody is sleeping over her friend's house when the madmen break in. She sees her friend and her parents slaughtered. She manages to escape with her friend's brother, Andy, but the men chase them out into the early-morning street.This opening is amazing -- the shocking realization that yes, someone really is in the house, and no, you're not being paranoid; the stunning depravity of the men who are there; the stomach-clenching terror the kids feel, and the way you unconsciously hold your breath wanting them to get away.They eventually do, and are stashed at Jody's house, where her cop father and most of the police force protect them.As good as this opening is, what comes after goes soft. To avoid being sitting ducks, Jody, Andy and Jody's father take off on a little trip.Simon has to find Jody and bring her back to his pals or they'll kill and torture everyone in his life.What we end up with is alternating chapters of Jody's travel (where we get the finer points of colorful diners and the inside of hotel rooms and gas stations) and Simon recounting the repulsive violence he and his buddies have exacted on innocent people over the years.While the group's history was interesting (in that gory sort of way) and the things Simon does along the way gruesome fun, I got a little sick of the two-step march the book took: first we hear about Jody on the road and Laymon bored us with the details of her trip, and then Simon would kill someone for some object he needed. And back and forth and back and forth. This is supposed to be a collision course between Jody and Simon, but really it just became a long catalog of violent crimes by Simon. He breaks into a store to steal a wig, he kills a couple of guys for a dog, he kills a bum for the hell of it, etc., etc. And on and on.Also, he dresses up like a woman to escape the neighborhood of the original crime. But even after being out of the neighborhood, he continues to dress like a woman for the rest of the book. We're never told exactly why, though. It made sense to get away from the crime scene, because the cops had a description, but why continue after that? What makes more sense: dressing like a woman because the cops know you have a shaved head, or putting on a damn hat?I liked Jody a lot more than I did Simon, but after a while Laymon stops giving Jody anything interesting to do or say.And for as fast-paced as Laymon plots his novels, he sure does dawdle a lot. As here, for instance, when the novel is about to come to a close and Laymon decides to stick an NRA pamphlet in it practically out of nowhere.What saves the book is a fairly good ending. You know what's coming, but it definitely doesn't go down like you'd expect it to. I have to give Laymon credit for getting a little wild with his finale. (The final few pages feature two people who have just gone to Hell and back and they're JOKING AROUND. That's inexcusable.)The thing with Laymon is that though this could have easily been one hundred pages shorter, you plow through it so fast that you hardly notice.The beginning is sensational, there's a few fun stops along the way, and the ending offers a nice little twist on what you think is coming.Not Laymon's best, but he heaps on the gore to compensate for the lack of a plot (which is good news if you like gore), and it leaves you with enough of a good taste in your mouth to make it worth checking out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/41280518-endless-night](https://www.desertcart.in/products/41280518-endless-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
