Halloween Reading: Highway to Hell Week | Symphony of Destruction | AstraDaemon

ONE FOR THE ROAD by Wesley Southard is one of the few stories I've read which lives up to all the accolades. This really is a mix of Silent Hill, Jacob's Ladder and Lost Highway. Damn. No wonder the author won a Splatterpunk Award this year.

I don't know if I trust the narrator's POV, especially with the ending. I spent much of the story wondering if one of them pissed off Satan or some demon. While there isn't much to the characters, the action is truly horrific, and this is definitely a gore-driven novella.

I'm recommending this one to all horror readers, especially fans of Brian Keene.

As always,
AstraDaemon

P.S. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win the autographed five-book series.

  2. Side note: I cannot wait for the adaptation of a story of the same name by Stephen King. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6849784/
