It’s 1996 and high school sweethearts, Zoe and Stefano, are enjoying a valentine’s night in when Zoe realizes she is about to miss her midnight curfew. Worried about losing her car privileges, she jumps into her Ford Escort and begins the long and dark drive home. Meanwhile, Stefano is caught off guard by a troubling psychic premonition of blood – lots of blood.
As the clock ticks down to midnight, Zoe comes to the bone-chilling realization that she has a bigger problem than answering to her strict father about the time.
THE GARAGE by J. Dispenza claims to be based on a true story. The author uses a few close-calls to build up the suspense, which made me a nervous wreck. (I had something similar happen, when I used to work nights as a DJ.) For the life of me, I don't understand why Zoe didn't lay on her car horn as soon as she arrived on her street. Clever use of misdirection...I couldn't have predicted the ending, if my life depended on it.
As always,
