Last Exit

by Jason Davis

You’re driving down a dark and lonely road...

You're tired and falling asleep...

The windows are down...

The cool air blowing through your hair as you crank up the stereo.

Ac/Dc blares on the radio and you are screaming out the chorus...


Then a set of headlights emerges from the darkness...

Your night has become a nightmare…


Welcome to Last Exit, an anthology of horrific tales where life on the road can sometimes take an unexpected turn.

About the author

Jason Davis was born in Adelaide in 1971 and has continued his good form ever since. After escaping Mullumbimby High School in 1988 during particularly rowdy bicentennial celebrations, Jason spent five years in the Royal Australian Air Force before scouring the country for a career that centred on the judicious use of fart jokes. He found it at Australian Mad magazine, which led to non-flatulence-related work at magazines and newspapers including the Qantas in-flight magazine, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun-Herald and The Courier-Mail.

Jason lives in Brisbane with his wife and three (count-’em!) children, and wrote about conceiving the first in Baby Steps. He was minding his own business when one of those children - possibly that troublesome first one - suggested that writing a book would be hard.

And so, J.R.P. Davis was born. All three of her now knows that it is, and yet it's not.

Last Exit, Last Chance!

I really enjoyed this book of short stories. Each one held my attention clear to the end. Many involved over the road truckers. Two of my uncles were truckers and this book felt personal to me. They did not have the same troubles (thank God😁) but it brought them to mind. I love short stories. Especially horror short stories. This collection did not disappoint. There are more than just trucker stories and each were very good. My favorite perhaps was the last one. I am glad I found this author and will certainly follow and check out more of his work.

A very original collection with a range of themes and topics, many much deeper than conventional modern horror stories.
