No way any kind of salve or ointment is going to take the sting out of Simon Wood's "Road Rash"!  It's about a thief who's running away from a crime he's committed and comes across an accident on the highway. Needing a getaway car, he runs over to the accident and what he finds inside the car is a man who's covered in sore's from some type of disease. Desperately needing a getaway car, he gets inside it despite all of the blood everywhere. And while he's getting in, the man touches him. This sets off a chain of events that is not only gruesome, but an exciting and fun read.If you think this is a simple retelling of Stephen King's "The Lonesome Death Of Jody Verrill", you'll have to guess again, Road Rash is much better and the extended ending is not only unexpected, but is way cool.  If you enjoyed Wood's "The Scrubs", you are going to love "Road Rash".
