Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? # 1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. # 2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be raving nutcase. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2? When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction face off, the result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a deeply twisted version of an "After School Special," SERIAL is the single most persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges, not aware of each other's opening section. All bets were off, and may the best psycho win.

I usually do not real scary, gory books, but since it was free, thought I would try it. Got hooked from the beginning. Excellent, fast paced, kept you interest. Great page turner. Don't know why some people didn't like. The characters had depth. Could follow what was going on. Some books, you are lost for a while trying to figure out who was who. There were several hero's in the story and who knows if there is Red-ops out there. Scary to think there are. Love to read J.A. Konrath books. Thanks for the great book.

If there is a redeeming value - it is that the book is short. It was horribly distrubing. This book caused me to cringe, even skimming as to not read the gruesome, vivid details. As many other reviews state - not all free books are worth the download.

I was attracted to this title solely because of the method of writing the authors employed. I was further intrigued by the story of dueling serial killers met on the road but sadly the promise of these two unique ideas utterly fail to be realized in this very short story. The plot runs so predictably after the initial introduction of the characters it could have been plucked from any 90's screamer film chosen randomly from your local blockbuster and the prose, while not completely wretched, seems underdeveloped and rushed. To top it off the authors spend almost as many words patting themselves on the back and shamelessly promoting their other works as they use on the entire story. The end result of which, for me, was a complete disregard of anything published by either author. In short, free is too high a price for this junior high level collaboration and I'd appreciate a refund on the minutes of my life I wasted hoping and waiting it would get better.

I stumbled through about 40% of this thing. By then I was so disappointed I gave up and removed it from my Kindle. If I had had a hard copy, I would have burned it.
It has no plot, only a disgusting idea. The characters are mere shadow outlines and there is no development whatsoever.
The descriptions of torture and murder are not even imaginative or particularly descriptive but rather pathetic and crude. It may be similar to how drunken or drugged out teens might describe to each other a particularly offensive urban legend while they are huddling around a flashlight in an old, abandoned house at midnight.
Well, if you like that sort of thing...
Concerning the price, it's not worth it.

I have now attempted to read two different works from this author and have come to the conclusion that he apparently fancies himself as some sort of Marquis de Sade for the modern age. The only difference is that the Marquis had some flair for the dramatic and a sick sort of sense of humor. The author of this novella only thinks that he does.
Not only did the authors not bother with trying to concoct a plausible or even interesting storyline, but they also decided to forgo proofreading as well. You would think that with two of them they would have double the chance of catching simple spelling errors, but I guess they were both too busy trying to come up with even more repugnant and eye-rolling ways to kill people. An obvious example of this is when in a discussion about dogs Donaldson advises his victim to steer clear of "long-haired breads". Indeed!
Another thing that amazed me was that there were two people writing this travesty and yet neither of them thought to research even the most rudimentary basics of crime scene investigation. If they had even just watched a couple episodes of Forensic Files on CourTV they would have realized that the things they claim will make it "impossible" to solve a murder are laughable at best.
I realize that the authors are probably trying to be humorous when they write this stuff (I hope) and I guess are trying to accomplish that end with all the ridiculously poorly thought out violence, but it does nothing for me and I'm not some old prude. I mean, I find Texas Chainsaw Massacre and American Psycho pretty funny and the video games I play are gratuitously violent, but trying to think up the most vulgar ways to kill someone just for vulgarity's sake is just boring and stupid.
Oh, and peach pits are neither sweet nor springy...
The only way that this thing earned that one star is that the authors didn't quite have the audacity to try to charge people for it.
