Welcome to Litsy!

Dean Koontz wrote the introduction to the edition I read and Stephen King once said: "John D. MacDonald has written a novel called The End of the Night which I would argue is one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century. It ranks with Death of a Salesman, it ranks with An American Tragedy."

Enough said.

A sort of prototype In Cold Blood, except fiction rather than journalism. Story of a murder spree, interestingly told. Perhaps fair to say reads a little dated now.
