Ladies' Night, was the second novel written, but tenth published by Jack Ketchum. Initially deemed too graphic to publish, the novel (written in the early 1980s at a length of approximately 400 pages) was finally released in 1997 at a length of 175 pages by Silver Salamander Press. The novel takes place in New York City, where a chemical truck gets into an accident and spills its contents on the street. Curiously, the trucker has fake identification, and no one seems to have heard of the company name on the truck: "Ladies, INC." The women of New York who inhaled the spilled chemicals begin to have severe headaches. Within a short time, the women are overcome by a desire to have sex with any man they can find. Finally, the women begin attacking those who have not been similarly affected by the spilled chemicals. In increasingly gruesome scenes, women kill their children, husbands, brothers, and the seemingly few unaffected women of the city.
