The open road has always promised freedom, adventure, and escape. But some journeys lead to destinations far darker than any map could reveal. In this collection of six interconnected tales, highways become hunting grounds, and every mile marker counts down to terror.
When narcissistic Don Calhoun encounters a mysterious beauty in a vintage Pontiac, he discovers that some attractions are literally deadly. Susan Windeler confronts the ghost of her sister on the same stretch of highway where guilt and secrets collide with supernatural justice. Tyler Davis stops to help a lost child on a desolate mountain pass, only to learn that some passengers carry darkness older than the roads themselves.
Bus driver Raymond Mercer uncovers a corporate conspiracy where autonomous street cleaners prowl the night, eliminating society's undesirable elements under the guise of urban improvement. Devon Barnes downloads a mysterious rideshare app called Nightride, discovering that some rides extract far more than payment, they harvest human consciousness itself. And when mechanic Stan Hepburn agrees to work late on a vintage hearse, he finds himself caught between the world of the living and the dead.
From seductive predators to technological horrors, from guilty consciences to supernatural justice, these six tales reveal that roads don't just connect places, they connect the living to the dead, the human to the inhuman, the natural to the otherworldly.
These stories explore how modern convenience can mask ancient evils, how guilt can manifest as supernatural terror, and how the infrastructure we depend on might depend on us in ways we never imagined.
On the darkest roads, evil isn't just around the bend. It's the journey to your end.
