Halloween Reading: Highway to Hell Week | Outback Bloodhouse | AstraDaemon

BROKEN HIGHWAY by Matthew Tait is a short, set in the Australian outback. While this first appears to be a lighter version of Wolf Creek, I do love what the author does with Jessica's situation.

Based on the description, I expected more characters. I found myself hoping for a supernatural element, but Tait chose to stick with realistic horror, which still provides a gruesome story.

As always,
AstraDaemon

    1. I didn't realize it, until today, but Tait also had a story featured in Devil Week. No wonder his name seemed familiar. LOL

  2. The curse of "when you read so much you may forget what you have read"

    1. A side effect of speed reading, which I try not to do as much anymore. I want to savor the stories.
