Product Description
Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking?
# 1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.
# 2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be raving nutcase.
So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2?
When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction face off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psycho win. (edited by author)

Jack Kilborn AKA J.A. Konrath is one of my favorite authors. When I noticed he had a new book out that happened to be a FREE internet short story I had to have it. I downloaded it immediately.
Jack collaborated with Blake Crouch and came up with this disturbing short story. About a man who picks up hitchhikers and murders them as well as a hitchhiker that goes around hitching rides and gruesomely murdering her drivers.
It's disturbing and gruesome and amazing. How they created this is beyond me. It's really a good book. Well written and surprising to the end.
I must say though, it's not for those with a weak stomach. SO beware.
the title is what led me to the book it sounded interesting. May 9, 2010

T
just the tag lines describe how this book was: kindle freebie, suspense, murder, horror, kindle, psychopaths, serial killer, freebie, scary. was excellent for a freebie from kindle and was very graphic. not a book for those who are insulted by racy humor or sexual innuendos.

Well, my title says it all. The story itself was good and I would have loved more of it. But I read it in like 10-20 minutes and I wish it said that in the description. That way I wouldn't have had my hopes so high.
