Road Terrors : Six Detours Into Terror – Horror Anthology

In this collection of six interconnected tales, highways become hunting grounds, and every mile marker counts down to terror.”The Hooker” follows narcissistic Don Calhoun as he encounters a mysterious beauty in a vintage Pontiac, discovering that some attractions are literally deadly. “Driven Spirit” finds Susan Windeler confronting the ghost of her sister on the same stretch of highway where guilt and roadside memorials mark more than just tragic accidents. In “Helpless”, Tyler Bond stops to help a lost child on a desolate mountain pass, only to learn that some passengers carry darkness older than the roads themselves.”Street Sweeper” reveals how 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. In “Nightride,” tech developer Devon Barnes downloads a mysterious rideshare app called Nightride, discovering that some rides extract far more than payment, they harvest human consciousness itself. Finally, ‘The Hearse’ follows mechanic Stan Hepburn as he agrees to work late on a vintage hearse, finding himself caught between the world of the living and the dead.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.
