Five Stars for Demonic Terror

Note: Some immature Mormon has been slamming my reviews because I wrote some negative reviews of books attempting to defend the Book of Mormon. So your "helpful" votes are greatly appreciated. A short review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great novel. I've just noted the general theme. Thanks This is one of the best horror-mysteries that I have ever read. I hate to tell too much--read a longer review after you read the novel, but there are a couple scenes in this great murder mystery that I have to mention. The man is skiing down hill at night, and skiing up the hill is another skier (coming fast--weird and scary). The scene of the Gospel Bus (fighting evil) with a big cross on the front is another classic. Let me quote the Los Angeles Times: "Risky your own sanity--mine was in tatters long before I finished." Now here are two more great horror stories. These have a coming-of-age and mystery theme, and in my mind, they are the tops. I hope you find something is my little review that makes it worth reading. "Boy's Life," by Robert McCammon Boy's Life "Summer of Night," by Dan Simmons. Summer of Night (Aspect Fantasy)

LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!

This is the stuff that reading is all about. Every book should be like this book. John Farris is in so many ways better than anyone else. He is in every way equal to King. I used to read him a long time ago. I would borrow his books from the library, you know the old hard back copies that were almost going to pieces. Funny to think of all the people before me who stayed up late at night with that very same copy of the book reading the very same pages, licking their index fingers and turning each page with such anticipation because that's what a John Farris book will do to you. It will cause you to bring home a dilapitated copy of a book that is probably infected with all manner of disgusting germs from hundreds of peoples' saliva, and knowing this full well you will still bring this book to your bed and enjoy every minute of OCD anxiety it causes you because John Farris is THAT good. Love this and every other John Farris book i have ever read. But this one was by far the best and definitely on my top 10 best horror of all time, and i have read a lot!

I want more!

I've never read many books outside the ones that were mandatory to read in my high school. I picked "Son of the Endless Night" up out of a local library when I decided to buy a few books to try and get into reading. And I must say that this book did exactly that. Now, I just dont know what other catagories of books to try and read except for "Horror", for John Farris's descriptive detail in the interesting relations of Good vs. Evil had to be, in my opinion, one of the all time greatest.

Sad to see it out of print!

I read this book about 10 years ago! I was thinking about it the other night and I wanted to buy another copy for my collection (I loaned my other copy to a friend)! Now it's out of print! This book is one of THE all time best! John Farris is a creative genius!

Pure horror

I must say that out of all the horror novels I've read, this one is by far the scariest of them all. It is the only book that ever kept me up at night.
