Nightmare Highway

By Alden Bauers

The author of Once in a Blood Moon, a Werewolf's Tale and Mile 43 brings you five terrifying tales to make you sleep with lights on.

 -All Fun & Games: Doug Tompkins can't believe the deal he got on a copy of the Sims at the new antique shop. Doug soon discovers this version of The Sims lets you control a lot more than the events of the game.

-Mama Wolf: Emily Mills conceals a dark secret from her nine-year-old son. But when they break down on a remote road, the truth reveals itself.

-Inseparable: Willie Darden has a one-night stand with a girl he meets at a bar. When they wake up to find their bodies fused together, they must learn to work as a team.

 -The Red Elantra: Traumatized combat veteran Jimmie Doyle works as a car delivery driver. He's tasked with driving the titular Hyundai from Spartanburg, SC to Knoxville, TN. He defies his boss's orders and takes back roads. Jimmie soon finds himself in a life or death fight against a mysterious black pickup truck.

 -The Creek: When a vampire and werewolf kill his wife and daughter, NYPD Detective Frank Radigan chases them across the country. They end up in a colony of polygamous Mormon fundamentalists. Frank's attempts to warn the townspeople go unheeded.
