It’s the fall of 1988 and two best friends—one departing for college, one destined for a bad boy townie life at home—decide to have a final video night before their friendship changes forever. It’s the perfect night for Billy and Tom. They’ve got pizza and beer, and Tom even managed to convince his girlfriend, Darcy, to bring a friend, Billy’s neighbor and crush, Rachel. But what they don’t know is that there’s an invasion underway, and they’re going to need their wits and each other to survive the night.

Across the street, Rachel’s sister, Rhonda, was one of the first to turn. A slithering, chitinous evil has taken over her body and her mind, and she’ll do everything to make more of her kind. Slowly, the whole town is taken over by these murderous alien beings, but the teens do not go down easy. Blood, sex, rock and roll, and invaders from outer space infuse this cult classic with plenty of nostalgia while taking a serious look at male teen friendship.

Genre:

Hit that first chapter. It’ll hook you, and the next time you look up, you’ll have swallowed the book. It’ll be nesting inside you like a seed, like an egg, like an invasion.
Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
One of the most talented and engaging voices of horror fiction's newest wave.
Gabino Iglesias, award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home
The momentum keeps building. The stakes keep escalating. The monsters just keep getting worse and worse, the catastrophic mayhem more juicy and hopeless. Best of all, the writing moves like a greased torpedo, compulsively readable as it rockets through your brain.
Fangoria
If you put together the gore, action, monsters, and sense of excitement that made '80s horror movies so great, you'll only have about half of what makes Video Night a must-read tome for horror fans.
Horrortalk
Too often modern horror is mired in self-importance and pretension, which is why Adam Cesare's Video Night is so refreshing. Video Night seeks to entertain first and foremost, a goal it achieves with spectacular success. It is also very well-written and is populated with characters who are realistic and relatable. Video Night was the most enjoyable horror novel I've read in quite some time, and Adam Cesare is one of horror's brightest new talents. Highly recommended.
Bryan Smith, author 68 Kill and Depraved
Of all the new writers busting out on the scene, Cesare's the young guy with the greatest encyclopedic gorehound know-how, blistering cinematic pace, unquenchable love of both fiction and film, and hell-bent will to entertain. Cesare does just about everything right.
John Skipp, Fangoria
