Who doesn’t love a bit of chainsaw violence? Star, his publishing company failed to get the novelisation rights for the movie, but they encouraged Shaun to write a chainsaw novel anyways.

In 1984, Shaun Hutson agreed to write a novelisation of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In this post, I want to present the most comprehensive account of the publishing of Chainsaw Terror/ Come the Night to date.

There’s quite a few reviews of this novel online already, but I am far more interested in the story behind this book than the story in it. A few weeks ago, I read a review that made doing so significantly easier. I have spent the last few months obsessing over the infamous Chainsaw Terror, but finding a copy seemed impossible.
