If this isn't the perfect "strong woman fights off deranged psychopath" story then I don't know what is. Even as I read it I checked off all the standard plot devices (which I won't list because that will ruin the story) but I enjoyed it anyway just because Lansdale is that good. And then he still surprised me with a perfect ending. If you haven't read Lansdale you are really missing out and this story would be a great place to start. ( )

Una giovane donna, a causa della pioggia, si scontra con una macchina lungo una strada di montagna.
Preoccupata per gli abitanti del veicolo scende (grave errore), da quel momento inizia un incubo: un pazzo assassino inizierà a inseguirla per i boschi per aggiungerla alla sua collezione.
Ma la giovane donna non è così indifesa come potrebbe apparire. ( )

Grim, brutal, and visceral old Lansdale short story still packs a wallop as a woman has to defend herself against a rather gruesome killer. Loses a half star because once we get to the end, we may question why she made the decision that got her into so much trouble.

This is a short story published as a Kindle edition (free when I got it) as a teaser for other Lansdale books now being released as eBooks. ( )
