The Road Kill: A Journey into Fear

by Rye Dano

"Becky saw it—a flash of something or someone in the back seat. She didn't look away until it was too late. A ghoulish and hideously deformed face stared back at her with its mouth agape, the car's still-blaring horn taking the place of the missing scream." Literary "Reading this, I felt as though I were watching an old 'Twilight Zone' episode I hadn't seen before. I enjoyed the emphasis on the older cars, and the folksy experience of the journey, which reminded me of my own family's trips in a Country Squire station wagon in the 1960's. Certainly there is some powerful iconography at work the recurring scary mask, the diorama glass which must not be touched, and the otherworldly horrifying dangers made possible in an ordinary family road trip. It was a thrilling ride that did not disappoint. The twist ending was in true 'Twilight Zone' fashion. Five stars."
