Roadkills

If you like your horror anthologies raw and bleeding, Roadkills could be for you. These three prose stories are reminiscent of The Twilight Zone if it were written and produced by Satan. In “Roadkill,” Christa Faust writes of a woman stranded in the desert when her old Nova finally breaks down. What happens next is something out of her worst nightmares. In “Choices,” Hart D. Fisher, always an optimist, tells the story of a police officer who not only abuses his power, but also happens to be an insane sadist who makes the Manson family look like friendly missionaries. Finally, “Walkers” author Joseph M. Monks puts his stamp on the zombie apocalypse thriller.

The common thread running through each story is that they take place on the open road. It’s not a road you want to travel.
