Video Night

Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Breakfast Club in this thrilling horror novel by the bestselling author of Clown In a Cornfield―now with a new forward by Stephen Graham Jones.

"One of the most talented and engaging voices of horror fiction's newest wave." ―Gabino Iglesias, author of The Devil Takes You Home

It's 1988 and two best friends―one departing for college, one destined for bad boy townie life―decide to have a final video night before their friendship changes forever. Billy and Tom’s plan is perfect. 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.

Across the street, Rachel's sister, Rhonda, was one of the first to turn. A slithering, chitinous evil has overtaken her body and mind, and she'll do anything to spread the alien infection. Blood, sex, rock and roll, invaders from outer space, and tender perspectives on teen male friendship: Video Night is one cult classic that has it all!

“The writing moves like a greased torpedo, compulsively readable as it rockets through your brain.” ―Fangoria

“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, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw
