In "Throttle" we have a short story co-authored By King and his son, Joe Hill. It takes place out on the road between a biker gang & a semi tanker truck.It's difficult to pick out anyone to like during the story. It becomes more clear at the end.A couple meth heads are done in by the bikers. The bikers later pull into a rest stop where the truck driver apparently overhears a part of their conversation. Once back on the road the trucker takes action.In a short amount of space a great deal of story unfolds in this novella. Mr. King has a knack for developing his characters to the tune of the story. As this unfolds, so does more of his characters' histories and personalities. His stories, long or short, have a great deal of humanness. Add a sprinkle of horror and the result is another very good read
