We invite you, fellow horror aficionados, to take a ride on HellBound Highway – a terrifying trip into the darkest recesses of the human mind you'd care to discover, your ticket to ride provided by a bunch of the very best authors writing on the independent horror scene today.

Of course, it's not your ordinary ticket, it's a boarding pass to twenty-eight sinister tales about terror excursions you most definitely wouldn't want to experience first-hand.

We present to you, for your ghoulish delectation…

• A family's pleasant, end of summer road trip to a waterpark turns into a nightmare when they happen upon a car that bears an uncanny resemblance to theirs, its occupants uncomfortably familiar…
• A fleeing highway convoy of ragtag vehicles keeps just fifty-seven miles per hour ahead of a constantly mutating mega-monster that devours everything in its path. If the speed drops below 57 mph, it's certain death. Meanwhile, gas and food are running perilously low…
• A woman with a guilty secret, desperate to leave town, steals a train ticket from a ragged elderly passenger... and encounters a sentient train cabin that inexplicably adjusts itself to her crimes…
• A hitchhiking waif finds herself in a truck stop diner where the management posts a sign telling customers, "Warning: Gators Ahead." She's thumbing her way through bone-dry Wyoming... where alligators don't exist. Or do they?
• A desperate, unemployed dad really, really needs to catch a plane to Florida. But his wife chooses to use the terminal's ladies' room only a few minutes before boarding time. When she doesn't come out, his two-year-old son runs after her…

So, please do immerse yourself in HellBound's bone-chilling anthology of traveling terror, curated by indie horror superstars Jane Nightshade and Ann O'Mara Heyward.
