Killer on the Road/The Babysitter Lives
by Stephen Graham Jones
dark
I don’t do audiobooks unless they’re exclusively audiobooks. And ‘The Babysitter Lives’ was exclusively an audiobook 2 years ago. I liked it then, but said I wish it had been a print book. Well now I got my wish. And thanks to my awful memory, I’m basically starting fresh!
But first, we start with ‘Killer on the Road’ about… a killer on the road. As always, SGJ has got the horror tropes down — runaway teens on a road trip, psycho truck driver, highway hitchhikers. And fucked-up violence. I think I missed something with the ending though… did we know who that person was? Or was it one of those deus ex machina things?
And then parts of ‘The Babysitter Lives’ did indeed come back to me as I was reading. It’s another SGJ stream-of-consciousness-style telling, but it’s a fun one.
