Blurb, sort
of...... In “Incident On and Off a Mountain Road,” Lansdale offers
readers a heroine who is far more than what she seems. Pursued by a monstrous
madman, Ellen calls upon her survival skills and leads readers toward a
mind-blowing twist ending.
Another
freebie from the Amazon site, which I found while having a browse.
Not my usual
bag though I’m familiar with Lansdale’s work. I have read a few of his previous
horror offerings, The Drive-In 1 and 2, but my main enjoyment comes from his
Hap and Leonard series, some of which I’ve read, but all of which I’ll be re-visiting.

Cutting to the chase, did I enjoy it? Would
I recommend it to others? Will I find myself thinking about it again in the
weeks and days ahead (always the mark of a good book in my opinion)?
Enjoyment factor.........yes, ok – passed some
time, I didn’t feel like that’s an hour or two of my life I’ll never get back.
The thing with short stories or novellas, a lot of time I don’t actually care
what happens to the characters, mainly because they are crudely drawn
brushstrokes and not fully realised people that I have an interest in.
Would I recommend it to others? I doubt it;
if you want to find it it’s on Amazon as a freebie.
No- I won’t be thinking about this one
again.
2.5 out of 5, which I shouldn’t complain about
as it was a free download.
