Hit the road with this anthology of trucking horror fiction.
Included here are the 2016 Bram Stoker Award–winning short story "Happy Joe's Rest Stop" by John Palisano. A ghostly voice on a trucker's CB radio knows more about his life than it should. Two drivers find their cargo gives them inhuman appetites. A boy at a truck stop encounters a supernatural force that threatens to destroy the world. The hypnotic singing lulling a driver to sleep might not be coming from the tires. A fender-bender between a big rig and a four wheeler is not as accidental as it seems. The sinister cargo lurking in a rock-and-roll band's fleet of trucks is unleashed at their final show.
Psychotic killers, devious ghosts, alien monsters, howling storms, undead creatures, and other dark forces haunt the highways and the truckers who drive them in these eighteen chilling tales.
Stories are by Ray Garton, John Palisano, Hal Bodner, Del Howison, Janet J. Holden, Edward M. Erdelac, Ian Welke, Brad C. Hodson, Joseph Spencer, R. B. Payne, Daniel P. Coughlin, Eric Miller, Shane Bitterling, Meghan Arcuri, Charles Austin Muir, Tim Chizmar, Michael Paul Gonzalez, and Jeff Seeman.

“Graydon Schlichter carries most of the performance load and elevates passages from these workmanlike stories with his pacing and occasional voicings and accents. Jennifer Knighton, who portrays minor female characters, provides a strictly straightforward performance. Each tale encompasses both a true long-hair trucking element and a twist of nasty behavior or sci-fi. Every trucker comes across as genuine, their plights all unenviable. Some of the truckers even appreciate audiobooks while on the road.”
