Publisher's summary

Only one more show and heavy metal guitarist Spencer Hesston can finally quit Rot in Hell. No more touring, no more fighting, and no more unwanted advances from the lead singer's girlfriend. But instead of waking up the next day in their Midwestern hometown, the band finds themselves dazed and confused in an abandoned settlement in the middle of the desert, with no idea of how they got there.

Things are done a little differently out here: The trees have perverse urges, the spiders have human fingers, and every time they step outside the town transforms into a new hellish nightmare.

In this town anything is possible, except making it out in one piece....

Deadite Press is proud to present a new novella from Wesley Southard, a work of surreal horror sure to please fans of Silent Hill, Jacob's Ladder, and Lost Highway.

Critic reviews

Winner of the 2020 Splatterpunk Award for Best Novella

"A road trip through Hell in the spirit of Skipp and Spector's The Scream and Grady Hendrix's We Sold Our Souls. I loved it!" (Brian Keene, author of The Rising)

"Wesley Southard's writing thrums with uninhibited energy that's both infectious and entertaining. Discovering Wesley's work has been a joy, and you should seek out his books too. He's definitely a writer to watch." (Jonathan Janz, author of The Siren and the Spector and Exorcist Falls)

Heavy metal hell

A band full of jerks, burnouts, and freaks finds itself in a unique and fresh version of hell.

Great creatures, kills, and rock and roll, with really outstanding narration

Metal Up Your…

ONE FOR THE ROAD by Wesley Southard is a look at a metal band trying to make it big, one small club live show at a time. Things get very bizarro towards the end of the tour. John Wayne Communale is the perfect narrator for this story, very enjoyable listen.

Short and fun!

I am still new to audible so getting used to different styles of narration. This is narrated by John Wayne Comunale and he was great, one of my favourite narrators so far. Heavy metal, violence, gore it’s a must for any horror spatter fan. This was my 1st from Wesley but I will be adding more very soon!
