The Speed Demon

FIRE TIRES by Clark Roberts is one of my favorite stories by this author. The storyline is somewhat predictable, but the horror is still gut-wrenching. Kind of a mix of two Twilight Zone episodes: IT'S A GOOD LIFE and STOPOVER IN A QUIET TOWN.

However, this short also includes the sinister darkness I've come to expect from Roberts whenever he includes children among his characters. I hope the author continues with stories like this one. I also recommend BEST DAY OF SUMMER.

As always,
