There is a current surge in the popularity of teen in the 1980s, but Video Night: A Novel of Alien Horror really tags the feeling of high school back in the middle of that decade (trust me, I was there). Adam Cesare makes the reader feel for Billy and Tom, Rachel and Darla. The story weaves between a number of characters as an alien invasion slowly takes over the neighborhood. Some fight, some are overwhelmed, and the reader is definitely entertained.
This is definitely a creepy story, but there are expertly added elements of humor which make us connect with the characters. If you grew up watching horror movies in your basement like the characters of Video Night, you will definitely enjoy this tale.
