Night Show is, in typical Laymon fashion, a non-stop thrill ride from start to finish. The tale follows Dani, known in the movie biz as the Queen of Horror Movie Special Effects, as she is relentlessly stalked by a disturbed superfan who calls himself the Chill Master. His enthusiasm for scaring movie audiences seems creepy yet innocent enough at first until the Chill Master keeps showing up to Dani's house at the most opportune times. Will Dani be the Chill Master's next victim? Not as brutally

While this had the traditional Laymon trademarks, horny teen-aged boys with a vicious streak, nude or semi-nude women, and brutality, it just didn't add up to a great tale. Like MsPooh and ellymae58 I found the transition between two sets of characters to be awkward. Either one on its own would have been an interesting tale if developed further but by combining the two it gave short shrift to story and character development on both fronts.

Tony liked to play nasty tricks on people at school and his prank led to Linda being badly hurt. But Tony has moved on and is trying to get the job of his dreams working for the Queen of special effects in Hollywood, by using his tricks to scare her as well. Linda hasn't forgotten Tony though, and is plotting her revenge against him.
This was a decent read. You hated Tony and his nasty friends and I loved the way Linda started to get her revenge on those who had wronged her! I was cheer More...

I love Laymon, but this is far from his best. I enjoyed the insight into horror SFX and make up, but there wasn't the nasty feel of other Laymon books. It's...okay. If you haven't, I'd read One Rainy Night, Endless Night or Island.

This is far from Laymon's best work. That said, if you have a long bus ride, this is a great read. At only 190 pages, I was able to finish it on an 8 or so hour bus ride. Its a fun, twisted little romp. With the right director and actors, this would make an awesome movie. Its messed up, fast and crazy. I would have probably given it 3 stars, but there were some problems with the characters and with there being missing pages towards the end of the book. Looks like it was an editing error,

One of the earlier Laymon's, by contrast to his later overblown stuff, this is actually told too quickly. And it's not a great story either.

Not exactly vintage Laymon. The writing, normally so lean and spare, is a little on the perfunctory side, and I really didn't buy into any of the main characters. Even so, it's Laymon…

This is the first novel I read by Laymon (21 years ago!) and I still think it's one of his best. I hope Leisure re-releases this one soon so a new generation can see why the author has such a devoted following.
