Everyone needs a hobby, but not everyone's hobby involves blood, entrails, and...roadkill.

Tatum Johnson didn't mean to hit the dog. His ex-girlfriend Jessica can attest to that. But that didn't stop the hunger. Now, he hunts along the back roads, running down animals for sport.

But on a night as pitch black as his soul, fate puts Tatum on a different road where new horrors await. On this night, Justice is served.

This solo debut short story by horror author Dan B. Fierce is just a sampling of the horrors that will await the listener in the Cabin 187 series.

Trigger warning!
This short story depicts violence against animals. Don't worry, though; they get even.

This is a long short story or short novella that I expected to be in the extreme horror or splatterpunk genres given the description. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, instead, it would fit well as an episode of "Tales From The Crypt" or "Creepshow" instead of those gore-soaked descriptors.

While it does have a certain amount of splatter, the focus here is on a very bad man getting his ironic comeuppance rather than on the more vivid outcome of his trade as the master of murdering things with his vehicle. The length also suits the format of those horror anthology shows. Things get started immediately, don't hesitate for a moment, and wrap up in a tidy bow without ever hitting the brakes. Any longer and it would overstay its welcome. Any shorter and it would feel rushed.

As this is an audiobook, I have to point out that the narrator, Jason Myers, is a drawback. His narration lead to some very awkward beats and transitions, such as leaping directly into new chapters without so much as a breath, but also pausing mid-sentence at times, possibly to take one. His accent on the lead, Tatum, was a bit over the top for me as well. These didn't server to spoil the production, but they must be noted. As a self-published book, one can expect some bumps in the road.

I enjoyed the story, and found it to be well worth the asking price. I'd recommend it to all fans of the above-mentioned series of hard-R horror shows who don't shy away from the red stuff in search of a little twisty terror in the short form.

A nice "Tales From The Crypt" style novella
