Suggesting this historic anthology is just a regional horror collection is like calling Frankenstein's monster a simple misstep in medical technology. Road Kill is no longer just an annual anthology of horror stories. It's a serial collection of some of the most serious voices in Lone Star literature. It's a chronicle of Texas terror, and Vol. 9 is eerie, edgy and feral. It will haunt you long after its first reading. It's as fine a selection of horror fiction as you'll find today. It's alive!

A little boy and girl disappear at Bible camp in the Big Thicket. An amateur sleuth discovers the true meaning of the phrase “dead end” in his pursuit of a Lovecraftian imp. A kitchen appliance becomes a portal to another dimension. A Nacogdoches jogger tries a hellish cure for his nicotine addiction. And, an aging, iconic monster confronts an existential quandary in West Texas.... These horrors - and more - await you in this, the fifth volume of Road Kill: Texas Horror by Texas Writers.
