Serial (Double-Signed Chapbook)

SERIAL by Blake Crouch & Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath)AUTHOR SIGNED CHAPBOOKFirst edition, first printing, mint, new/unread limited edition chapbook, signed by both authors. Limited to 500 copies.June 2009 OR: Norwood PressThriller masters Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath) turn their attention to the twin golden rules of hitchhiking:# 1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.# 2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be a certifiable crazy.So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2?When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction face off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," Serial is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, Serial is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psycho win.Serial contains the novella, "Serial", a Q&A with Kilborn and Crouch, author bibliographies, and excerpts from their most recent and forthcoming works: Kilborn's Afraid and Crouch's Abandon
