Review Overview

Billy and Tom are best friends, facing the inevitable separation at the end of the school year. To go out with a bang, they decide to host one last video night filled with girls, pizza, and a casual fight against an alien infection in their suburban town. This is where Adam Cesare‘s book, Video Night, takes us on a thrilling journey in a slime-drenched ’80s horror adventure.

Video Night: A Slime-Drenched '80s HorrorDive into the first chapter of Video Night and you’ll be instantly hooked. Cesare’s writing style grips you from the start and before you know it, you’ll be completely engrossed in the story. The pace is relentless, drawing you deeper into the narrative with each turn of the page. The monsters become more terrifying, the mayhem more catastrophic, and the sense of impending doom more palpable as you progress through the book.

As one of Adam Cesare’s earlier works, Video Night showcases his immense talent as a writer. The way he captures the essence of ’80s horror movies with gore, action, and monsters is truly impressive. Cesare’s ability to create a sense of excitement and nostalgia for fans of the genre shines through in this book. It’s clear that he has a deep love for horror and knows how to deliver a thrilling story that keeps readers engaged.

The characters in Video Night are relatable, adding depth to the story as they navigate through an increasingly dangerous situation. Billy and Tom’s friendship is at the heart of the book, providing an emotional anchor amidst all the chaos unfolding around them. Cesare does an excellent job of balancing character development with fast-paced action, keeping readers invested in both the plot and its protagonists.

Video Night is a  great read for fans of horror looking for a nostalgic trip back to ’80s cinema. Adam Cesare delivers a gripping tale filled with suspense, gore, and monster mayhem that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

Video Night is available wherever books are sold. Adam Cesare is a two-time guest of the Capes and Tights Podcast for Episode 77 and Episode 136. His next novel Clown in the Cornfield 3: The Church of Friendo drops this summer and the print edition of his Audible Original Influencer hits shelves in the Fall at bookstores everywhere.
