Kilborn doesn't mince words, just body parts in this engrossing short story which picks up literally where Truck Stop left off. Donaldson's god complex, thirst for blood and need for complete victim submission come to fore in Serial at the expense of a naive hitchhiker. Kilborn teams Donaldson with yet another antagonist with a fetish for the macabre whose drive is that of the more imposing serial killer yet far more unassuming. Expect terror at every turn of the road.Serial delivers on its relentless pursuit to dissuade people of picking up hitchhikers - I will never look at charred meat on the BBQ the same again as I am sure to envision the vivid and overtly graphic scenes described in this story. Sublime yet sadistic and so satisfying - 5 stars.
