STP

by J. Joseph Wright

A new thriller Novelette

A murderer is strangling and slicing his way across the Pacific Northwest, and the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic cuts a swath directly through his path. It's the biggest ride of the year, and nothing is going to stop Parker from going, not even a psycho killer on the rampage. But, when an accident forces the bike course to take a detour into the back country of rural Oregon, Parker finds himself pedaling into a hell on earth. It's a trip to the precipice of madness, where unspeakable acts of horror are tucked away in the winding back roads of bucolic small-town America. And Parker, on the verge of his doom, comes to wish he'd never decided to ride the STP.

Contains extreme violence and sexual situations. Not for children.

About the author

J. Joseph Wright penciled his first novel in the fourth grade, but, after failing to publish it, toiled away in obscurity until his freshman year in high school. Upon reading and, inexplicably, enjoying one of J.'s witless essays, his English Comp teacher, a man of questionable taste, recommended he write for the school newspaper. Soon J. was regaling the student body with a fantasy horror fiction column, gaining a robust early fan base, albeit from a captive school audience.

After college, J. left a highly lucrative career in television for an even more lucrative career as an author, and now writes Paranormal Romance, Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy.
