Well SAVAGE NIGHT is my de-virginizing experience of reading a Jim Thompson novel (and no, watching THE GRIFTERS, THE GETAWAY, and THE KILLING doesn't count) well dammit if the man isn't a kick you in the groin, grab you by the shirt, slap you in the face writer----the kind I LOVE!!!!
SAVAGE NIGHT follows a doomed hit-man on his last legs (and teeth and eyes for that matter) who latches himself onto a dead - end town to do a killin' for THE MAN.
Suspicions, betrayals, and desperation follow him like a sick shadow......and well, let's just say that more than one corpse lays lifeless by the end of these bloody pages.
A quick read and entertaining one...if you're into black coffee/unfiltered cigarette lit.
The ending of this one is dizzying.
Note. As he does in several of his works, Jim Thompson makes a subtle cameo in this one.
