Product Description

It’s a hot, hot night. Too hot to be making love unless your romance is young, like Sherry and Duane’s. It’s their first time but there’s just one problem - they have no condoms. Of course they could wait until tomorrow... Duane remembers the all-night Speed-D-Mart. In the usual circumstances, it’s not a place anyone would want to visit at night. But these aren’t usual circumstances. Duane throws on his clothes - the store is just ten minutes down the block. Now Sherry is waiting. Ten minutes has gone, so has twenty. She’s not worried - what’s another few minutes? Then she hears the noise from down the street. It might be a door slamming. It might be the backfire of a car. But Sherry thinks it sounds mostly like a gunshot...

Customer Reviews

Competent Laymon - but he can do so much better...
"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.

Wow! The problems that occur because they want safe sex!
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.

Fantastic read!!!
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.
