Review: Dark Night of the Soul

What begins as a traveling salesman's journey through the night becomes a haunted trek into his own past -- or, rather, that of his father. I found this novelette to be gripping from start to finish with no dull parts. You feel like you're right there in the car with the protagonist and that spectral shoe. The scene at the graveyard had me on the edge of my seat, and the spooky preacher is a character I won't be forgetting anytime soon. This is Chapman's longest published work to date, and if you've enjoyed his short stories as I have, then you're in for a real treat with HIGHWAY 24.
