Road to Darkness by Joleene Naylor is a great short-story and a fantastic way to get readers hooked into her Amaranthine series. Two young girls, Jenny and Cade, go to a concert to forget about two guys that gave them the brush off. On the way, they meet two older guys pulled over on the side of the road, only to find themselves in a supernatural nightmare.
I don't usually go for this sub-genre of horror, but Naylor delivers both suspense and terror in equal measure, by mixing a kidnapping with a deadly hunt. The ending is a little abrupt, but it only made me more curious about the character, Patrick.
If you like your monsters with sharp, pointy teeth, be sure to check this out...
