AN EXCERPT


You know those dead zones where the car radio crackles with static? Where the signal drops away and you swear you hear voices in the ether? They aren’t isolated to those lonely stretches of the backwoods, where intermittent flashes of fireflies hint at what goes on beyond the shadows of your high beams. Dead zones linger in other places, too.

READER REVIEWS

“Do you have anxiety about being on the road? Whether it’s a quiet road in a small town, a highway in the middle of nowhere, or a road only adrenaline-rush seekers dare travel, this collection will have you nervous to get behind the wheel!“
– Erica Robyn

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“Definite surreal, some kind of weird dream/“The Twilight Zone” vibes in some of these tales which was great. As with I think all “The Cellar Door” issues so far, the very first story became one of my favorites with “S.A.L.E”and the featured author’s tale “Master of the House” is definitely another. “Twelve Miles, Two Hours” and “Unwanted” to round off my top 4 picks. All the other stories were great additions to this issues theme as well though. Well done on another one DPP“
