Externally: the unclipped jacket is in good condition, with some minor creasing to the top and bottom edges, most notably at the spine area.

Both the boards are in good condition with minor signs of shelfware to the top and bottom outer edges. And some slight creasing to the top and bottom of the spine area. The block edges are clean, though tanned with age.

Internally: There is a bookseller’s pencil price mark to the ffep. A full number line to the copyright page. The pages are free from marks and highlighting, with the text remaining clear, though the outer edges of the pages are tanned with age. A decent, firm first edition, first impression copy.

From the jacket: Jody Fargo is a cop’s daughter, sweet 16 but tougher than she looks. She’s sleeping over at her friend Evelyn‘s house when the killers break in. She sees Evelyn spitted on a spear by a man dressed in human skins. She rescues the only other survivor of the massacre – Andy, Evelyn‘s 12 year old brother. She kills a man so they can get away. It’s just as well that she’s her father‘s daughter…
Simon Quirt sounds like a regular guy. Not the kind of fellow who would rape and murder in the dead of night. But, together with his friends, that’s just what he does. Now Simon is alone. His friends, so-called, have gone. They’ve left him to find the only eyewitnesses to the crime and dispose of them. He has to do it – or they’ll slaughter his family. In any case, Simon has his own reasons for sticking around. He can’t wait to get his hands on Jody… Jody and Simon, the plucky school kid and the crazy killer, are locked together in a breathless, heart-stopping struggle for survival in Endless Night – more “good horror writing that is long enough to sync your teeth into” (Sunday Express) and Richard Laymon‘s most terrifying novel yet.
