"Come Out Tonight", as you can see from the synopsis has an intruiging basis...a boyfriend nips around the corner late at night for some condoms..but he doesn't come back. The first half of the book is as tight and interesting as anything the author has produced, but the second half descends into a plotline that would shame most teeny-slasher films. People begin to act outrageously against character and the villain of the piece becomes increasingly more cartoonish as the book progresses to its suitably grisly climax. Laymon's excellent, all-action writing style flows as smoothly as ever which is the main saving grace of the book. In less able hands the plot might easily have dragged this one down to a one or two star rating. Laymon at his best is one of the outstanding horror writers around but he seems to have lost interest in this one half-way through.

This book is so good I have lent it to my entire family, mum, sister and brother in law!!!!!
Its one of those books you just cant put down, but then all of his books are like that!!! It just absorbs you completely and you can think of nothing else.

This novel is very similair to all other Laymon novels. Pretty, young girls getting attacked, raped, blah-de-blah-de-blah, and still managing to survive! Having said that, this has an excellent storyline and does manage to get the reader emotionally involved. Some good twists, lots of parts that make you go "yuck!" and, as usual, some really weird characters (i.e Fran, who enjoyed being raped? ) but hey!, that's Richard Laymon for you! This novel is more of a creepy one than a scary one (if you know what I mean) but nevertheless, it's still a good read and not just for Laymon fans.

He has his very own writing style - well, most of the better authors do but Laymon's is really unique. No one writes like him. Read more

Hilarious brilliant
I loved this book from the word go. I love the twists and turns that Richard has in his books. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cringe. Very gory and bloody thirsty. Read more

Standard Laymon-Fare. Not bad, if you are a fan.
If you are a Laymon fan already this book is going to be a fun read. However, it really doesn't do anything new and original. Read more

Tight, gripping right till the end.....
How does he do it?
Richard Laymon once again provides us with a thrilling page turner, showing that even with his mass output he is still the master of the genre. Read more
