Road Hazards | AstraDaemon

HIGHWAY 181 by D. S. Ullery is a collection of horror shorts, with an introduction by Terry M. West (The Devil's List). Fans of urban legends will most likely enjoy this collection, with common elements such as middle-of-nowhere settings, cursed land, and dark traditions, all centered on the highway which runs through each and every one.

The horror within these pages reminds me of Romero's TV series, Tales from the Dark Side. The stories have a kind of creepy simplicity which tricks readers into letting down their guard, only to be slammed face-first into the blood-soaked asphalt littered with the corpses of Ullery's characters.

I'm recommending this one to horror fans who value suspense over graphic violence.

As always,
