{"product_id":"book-aqkn","title":"Serial Uncut","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e#1: Don’t go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e#2: Don’t pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Blake Crouch (\u003ci\u003eDESERT PLACES\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eABANDON\u003c\/i\u003e) and Jack Kilborn (\u003ci\u003eAFRAID\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCHERRY BOMB\u003c\/i\u003e), face-off, the result is \u003ci\u003eSERIAL\u003c\/i\u003e, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an “After School Special,” \u003ci\u003eSERIAL\u003c\/i\u003e is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, \u003ci\u003eSERIAL\u003c\/i\u003e 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 psychopath win.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eF. Paul Wilson says, “\u003ci\u003eSERIAL\u003c\/i\u003e reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with the reinsertion of additional material cut from the original version, \u003ci\u003eSERIAL UNCUT\u003c\/i\u003e also has a vastly expanded beginning and ending, including an extended section that originally appeared in the novella \u003ci\u003eTRUCK STOP\u003c\/i\u003e by J.A. Konrath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read \u003ci\u003eSERIAL UNCUT\u003c\/i\u003e.
