Two-hundred and fifty-eight pages
of pure automotive related horror bundled up in five stories:

Story One

The Dragon’s Toll

There is an actual road in the US known as the Tail of the Dragon found on Highway 129 between North Carolina and Tennessee. The road is a favorite for motorcyclists and sports car enthusiasts because of its 318 dramatic twists and turns drawn out over a short eleven mile stretch. To call it a winding road is a gross understatement. There exists a terrible secret associated with Highway 129 that will challenge everything Colin Baker knows about the natural world as he watches his life unravel in the trap that befalls him.

Story Two

Sealed in the Beams

An elderly man notices a pair of headlights following him one day while out for a cruise in his old Plymouth Barracuda. Behind the headlights someone or something has an insidious plan.

Story Three

A Gentlemen’s Gloves

A young man inherits a brass box containing a tan pair of driving gloves and a key that fits a Duesenberg. He is about to go on a journey of self discovery and when he learns the truth, it will already be too late to change his course and avoid his horrible fate

Story Four

Honeymoon Road

Newly married in Vegas, an Icelandic couple rents a Lamborghini to embark on a road trip along US 50, the loneliest road in America. They soon learn that the loneliest road is not so lonely when they encounter a group of denizens from the underworld intent on their destruction.
