A grisly little novella and cautionary tale. If curses travel from evil to most evil, it may pay not to be the worst person in the room.In Road Rash, Simon Janus punishes a despicable individual for our entertainment, allowing us to feel the discomfort, dispair and final acceptance of a pretty nasty curse.It was over pretty quickly, but I enjoyed the suffering, the dashed hopes and the final resolution for the main character.The book reminded me a little of one of those late night series of small 30 minute horror stories - the series you'd enjoy much more if good actors were employed. In this case, the bad acting is substituted with the authors great characterisation, showing me that this format can at least succeed in print.
