Night-World
First Published: 1972 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Format: Hardcover |
|
Summary: Karen Raymond travels to Dr. Griswold’s private sanitarium to help determine if her husband, Bruce, is fit to be released. She arrives to find the doctor and staff brutally murdered; the sanitarium’s five patients have escaped, Bruce included. When, one-by-one, the escapees are found slain, Karen works with the police, unsure whether her husband may be the killer or the next victim.
Bloch: “Shortly after its publication, Night-World was bought by MGM and I was called upon to write the screenplay. At my brief meeting with producer Saul David, I asked for input and suggestions. He merely tapped the novel’s dust jacket and said, “Just write it like the book.” The film was never made, though since then, a half-dozen producers here and abroad have inquired regarding availability of the motion picture rights. All of them were promptly referred to MGM, and nothing—promptly or otherwise—ever happened as a result.”
Notes: The book’s dedication, “This book is for Zander who will probably never read it” is a wry joke—Zander was Bloch’s dog.
