YA Novel Too Similar to Asimov's "Nightfall" ?
It even has the very same name and identical plot basis:

"Three teens inadvertently left behind on an island when other residents escape to avoid a 14-year period of darkness must contend with abandonment, terrifying creatures – and a world without light. The scenario set up in Nightfall, a YA novel by Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski, targets readers tantalized by the terrifying. And Putnam, which releases the book today with a 75,000-copy first printing, has launched an online initiative designed to catapult them into that world even before they delve into the actual book."
 
Not unless it's a world that never had nights (except every 4,800 years or what ever) where no-one can escape. It doesn't really sound the the same. I've read the short and the later co-written novel. It's not even one Asimov's better shorts.
Anyone can use the same title.
