Rating: 5 out of 5

A minimum of words in this novella by Stephen King and his son, Joe Hill, but it's jam packed full of action, blood and guts.  "Throttle" takes me back to the good old days when King wrote more short fiction.  He is a master at wringing every little morsel of emotion out of the least amount of words and it seems Hill inherited at least some of his writing chops from dear old Dad.There are definitely echoes of Richard Matheson's bookDuel, later made into a movie by Steven SpielbergDuel (Collector's Edition)in this homage to Matheson.  But this story is masterful in its own right. Read about Vince, his troubled son Race, and the rest of the Tribe as they fight for their lives in the Nevada desert.  Just know you won't be feeling too sorry for them.Also, great color illustrations are scattered throughout the story.
