As outlined in intro - don't get or read if you cannot handle graphic descriptive writing based in serial killing.  Sociopaths have no conscience, no sympathy and no empathy.  Thus, when they are describing their acts to us (or their victims) it is gonna be ugly.  And this is ugly in many of the things done.  However, I was not shocked or offended (even though I admit it was pretty gory and graphic).This book tells the tales of two people - one who picks up hitchhikers and one who hitchhikes. And a couple of people they encounter along the way to meeting up.I just was put off by the feeling of contrivance related to the ending.  While action packed to the last "drive, " it felt like it was just an ending to end.  Rather than a true end from having gone through paces.So so read due to unfulfilling (to this reader) end.  If any are THINKING about this short (more than half the "book" is intro, author interviews and excerpts from other books) I suggest downloading sample chapters (or peek in preview) to see if you would even want to insert the gory images in your mind.  Many will be upset (many will not) .I prefer the voice and excerpts from J.A. Konrath.  Your mileage may vary.Christine
