Death Drives a Semi: 25th Anniversary Edition E-BOOK

Keep one eye on the road ahead and another on the rearview mirror.

Because, like the legendary phantom semi of this book's titular story, these stories will creep up on you and overtake you without warning.

Edo van Belkom twists his unique perspective and droll, black sense of humor into twisted observations of the sad, violent, and ironic sides of life in this special 25th anniversary release of a compilation of his most beloved horror stories.

With a voice and range that has drawn comparisons of Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson and Stephen King, van Belkom takes the reader down a most unique highway that breaths new life into classic horror tropes, all the while maintaining the essence of the best of a combination of "The Twilight Zone" and the old E.C. horror comics of the 1950s.

"Death Drives a Semi comes at you with a sparkle in its bloodshot eye, a happy twist on its pale lips, and a switch-blade tucked into a back pocket of its faded jeans. These stories move with the brutal, crazed efficiency of a starved rat who has just spotted a half-eaten cheeseburger on the other side of the alley. Throughout, Edo van Belko's left-landed, almost surreal sense of humor aerates and elevates the proceedings by providing a constant ironic commentary, like a soundtrack composed by Frank Zappa and Spike Jones." - Peter Straub, author of The Hellfire Club

"These stories are full of fire and dark smoke, fueled by wit and ingenuity." - Joe R. Lansdale, author of Savage Season

"Edo van Belkom is a true original . . . His stories are sly, wry, sad, and violent. He has a voice all his own, and songs well worth the singing." - Ed Gorman, author of Cage of Night
