If you've read any Richard Laymon at all then you know what to expect. There's plenty of wonderful descriptions of girls body's and clinging clothes, and the usual gore is there too, in droves. This one is about a group of guys calling themselves the Krulls after a group of cannibal killers in a slasher novel(I wonder if that's a real novel?) that spend their time snatching young ladies and raping, torturing and killing them, and all for kicks.

We follow Jody, who's a typical Laymon protagonist, young, beautiful, sexy etc, and a young boy she's babysitting called Andy. There's a slight difference with this story though since the chapters alternate between the Jody/Andy viewpoint and one of the Krulls' viewpoints, a real sicko called Simon.

If you haven't read any Laymon before then you're in for a treat, and if you have then you know just what kind of treats you're going to get, so it's win-win all the way.

Highly recommended. Lots of wonderful pervy scenes, lots of wonderful gory scenes and a nice fast-paced, sicko type story to get you all geared up for halloween.

not one of the greater books I liked from the author. it was a bit gruesome at parts where I am not even sure if they will even show it in movies ( )

I have to say I was disappointed reading "Body Rides" with Laymon. I mean, I had heard he was the greatest thing this side of horror, but just wasn’t feeling it. After reading "Endless Nights," however, I just might jump on the Laymon happy go lucky bandwagon after all!

The book starts off with horror and ends with even worse horror. From the very first few pages, tension is high enough to induce a nervous breakdown in the reader.

Laymon whips up a dessert full of dark atmosphere, rich characters, smooth pacing, and mouth- watering suspense. This book is a little long when you look at it from a side view, but when you're reading it, you'd never notice the length because you're so preoccupied with what you're reading. Most of the pages are blood-soaked; Laymon doesn't hesitate to describe the violence and horrible happenings in gruesome, unflinching detail.

If you want to jump into Laymon, make Endless Night your intended spot. Read it once, read it again, and then lock it away for safe keeping! ( )

This book was totally disturbing! Laymon has a twisted mind, but yet he writes in a way that you just have to keep reading to see what happens next. ( )

I've said it before and will probably say it again: Laymon is a master at making an unbelievable event something believable, and more importantly an awesome read. In this case, Jody is sleeping over at her friend's house when a group of killers break in and kill everyone but Jody and her friend's little brother. And that's only to get things rolling. Luckily Laymon doesn't take it too far as he has in some other novels. Instead the story develops and moves naturally with no more crazy events. No second equally weird plot to connect up with the primary story line. As would be expected, the dialogue and characters are dead on with what you would expect. This is one of his more entertaining books and as such you'll probably be like me and stay up late devouring it as fast as you can. ( )
