This has been billed as being sort of their homage to Duel. It's about a motorcycle gang that manages to irritate a trucker. There's a lot more going on than this, of course, but that's the most basic and spoiler-free way to put it.

Somehow, this book was out for days---DAYS!---before I knew of its existence. And yes, it's a short story not a novel, but still. DAYS! If you know anything at all about me, you know that I love Stephen King. And you probably---hopefully---know that I love his son, Joe Hill, too. (If you haven't read Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box, please change that. Because it's AWESOME.)

This isn't either man's best work, but it's definitely entertaining and well worth the 99 cents. I think most people could read it in less than an hour or two (if it ends up being more than 50 pages, I'd be shocked) and while it takes a little while for it to get good (read: for the psycho truck guy to show up), once it does, it gets amazing.

We don't get to learn much about the characters, but that's sort of a secondary concern for a story like this. The idea is to be a great action story (and a suspenseful one) and it absolutely succeeds at that.

One note---and I probably don't need to mention it, given that one of the two authors is Stephen King---you may not want to be eating while reading this book.

This Kindle single is available for 99 cents, so if you have a Kindle (or a Kindle app), absolutely check it out. It's incredibly fun.
