Helpful Score: 2
I enjoyed reading all the Beast House series books by Richard Laymon. I especially wanted Friday Night because it has the novella "The Wilds" in it. The Wilds has been out of print for some time now and now it has been printed in Friday Night In Beast House. So all you Laymon fans you will enjoy this story also.
This is NOT one of Richard Laymon's best books.
If you've read the rest of Laymon's Beast House series you'll want to read it just to complete the series. However, at only 141 pages it's only novella length and doesn't even get close to the deep plot of the earlier Beast House books.
I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who doesn't already love Richard Laymon.
The accompanying novella The Wilds is decent, closer to Laymon's other works.

The main story, Friday Night at Beast House, was only a little over a hundred pages long, and then there is a second novella included in the book.
All I can say is...it was... interesting. I have to admit that I did not see the ending coming in a million years. It was totally unexpected. Tension was built up well in the first novella- but that ending was a shocker!
The bonus novella, Into the Wilds, is really good, I enjoyed it a lot and it was also quite unique.
Overall, not my favorite book by Laymon, but certainly entertaining and FULL of surprises.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Both stories that it contains has a witty ending.
Not one of his best. It felt like this was just a few chapters left out of one of the Beast House series of books.
very fast read. i enjoyed the beast house story although it was more about sex in my opinion than horror. the bonus story, the wilds, was the better of the two storys and i very much enjoyed reading it.
