The Night Out is an award-winning horror story by Terry M. West. It was a finalist for the 1997 INTERNATIONAL HORROR GUILD Award for a short story.

In the seedy depths of a topless bar, Kevin, a lost soul plagued by a memory disorder, seeks solace in the dimly lit haze of neon lights. Desperate for companionship, he encounters a figure from his past he believed to be lost forever. But as the night unfolds, secrets long buried claw their way to the surface, revealing a savage truth that threatens to unravel Kevin's fragile existence.

This is a revised, polished, and expanded version.

WARNING: The Night Out contains dark themes, extreme violence, and graphic sexual situations.
