Ladies' Night

1997Jack Ketchum

4/5

Oh, yes, it's ladies nightAnd the feeling's rightOh, yes, it's ladies nightOh, what a night!(Oh, what a night!)And then a truck accident spilled some crazy liquid, spewing forth toxic vapors into the air causing all the women folk to go nuts and start chopping people up. Yep, this was about what I thought it was going to be. A non-stop festival of senseless violence and blood. According to the prologue, this was Ketchum’s sophomore effort and at one at one time was about 4 times as long. It was cut way way down years later in order to get it published. I can’t help but be a little curious about the missing pages for this one. I also can’t help but wonder if I would have liked it a lot more if it was written by another author instead of Ketchum. Ketchum raises the bar pretty high and maybe my expectations were a wee off. Who knows. It was not bad, just not Ketchum good. I am giving this one 2.5 Stars and rounding it up to 3 because I was in the mood for a bit of senseless violence and there was no shortage of that here.
