The Nightrunners

By: Joe R. Lansdale

Narrated by: Brad Sanders

In the field of country noir—the dark side of rural and small-town America—Lansdale staked his claim to East Texas with The Nightrunners. A '66 Chevy bears down on the countryside, with a carful of vicious teenagers and evil of Biblical proportions, in this terrifying morality tale of sex and violence.

Contains mature themes.

Nasty Nasty Nasty Bad Guys

I love Joe Lansdale's books, but this one was hard to listen to at times because of the obscenities people can perpetrate on others--and on animals. I actually fast-forwarded over one section because I knew what was coming and I didn't want to hear it. I am appalled by some of the horrors Joe's mind concocts--but in spite of that, the story held me. If you got this book looking for more Hap & Leonard stories, you won't them any here.

Another amazing Lansdale novel

This an earlier work, brutal and has an appearance from one of Lansdale’s most famous creations, but a must for crime and horror fans alike, and any Lansdale fan.

Not Very Compelling

I read this book after reading "More Better Deals" which I enjoyed. This book is about 50% pornographic and the story is just all over the place. I would like "More Better Deals" and much less Nightrunners.

It was a relief when it ended

Huge disappointment. I usually enjoy Lansdale’s prose and characters. This book was just gratuitous and disgusting, with cheap language and shallow characters, while missing plot development or reader satisfaction. I was determined to stick it out & hoped the ending would make it worth the time. Sadly, the best thing about listening to this book was the relief when it ended.

Don't Waste Your Time

I enjoy horror gore. However, the narrator wasn't great with his voice changes between the characters. The story was all over the place. It didn't flow well. Don't waste your money or your credit.
