Publisher's Summary
Who better to repel a body-snatching alien invasion than a group of teenage horror nerds?
Billy and Tom are best friends, but each knows that at the end of the school year they'll be moving in different directions. But why not go out with a bang and throw one last video night? They can invite some girls over, order a pizza, then maybe try and fight the alien infection that's taken hold over their suburban town.
It's The Breakfast Club meets The Night of the Creeps in this slime-drenched '80s horror romp.
"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 Mongrels
"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

Clichè and boring
Firstly, the narrators voice is as dull as a dishwater; raspy, dry and boring. That made it difficult to get through.
The story itself is short but seemingly drags on and on forever. The novel jumps from set piece to set piece without building any suspense and things just happen to the characters without them having any agency or personality. There's also some pretty offensive anti-lgbt language used throughout which kind of turned me off the novel too. For a novel about a 'Video Night' gone awry with aliens, the majority of the book takes place in the neighbours house where nothing happens.
Seriously, a mediocre read/listen.
To the narrator: take a damn throat lozenge!
