  <default_description>Horror short story written as an e-book.  A free and complete download is available on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blakecrouch.com/serialchapter.shtml&quot;&gt;Blake Crouch's website&lt;/a&gt;.

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking?

#1: Don&#8217;t go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.

#2: Don&#8217;t pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be a certifiably crazy.

So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2? </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting piece of short fiction ... the two authors played a literary game of table tennis to complete the story ... each writing in brief bursts without fully knowing where the other was taking the story.<br/><br/>I received it as a free Kindle download, not sure if I would have read it otherw...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was intrigued by Flannery's review so I had to download the (free!) horror short story. Very fast read. Totally weird and I could see it ending up as a horror screen play one day. In general, it's well documented that I don't love short stories, and this was no exception. I wanted more: more chara...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75690155">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow, that was an amazing read, but pretty weird and creepy. I'm speechless after reading this, I have absolutely no idea how to word my thoughts.<br/><br/>Except, this is an absolute must-read! As long as you're down with violence; if not, avoid this.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Serial killers getting their just desserts.  I also love **Minor Spoiler*** the female serial killer, especially one that is all of 5 feet tall.  I like this author for that, not all of the killers are men.  Good, fast read.  Loved it!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a short story.  I had to put the book down at one point, because the scene being described was VERY intense...but once I got back to reality, I was able to continue.  This short story is not for the faint-at-heart.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Couldn't finish it.  Too gruesome.  Liked Kilborn/Konrath's other book, Afraid.  But this one was just too graphic, pushing the gore element beyond what was reasonable for the story.]]></body>
