A woman in late pregnancy has her car break down on a rural road, late at night in the rain. I hope that old farmhouse has a phone and not a bunch of witches that want to steal her baby's soul!
Despite the hammy set-up this works pretty well. Pregnant lady is held hostage and tries to enlist the help of a couple of mentally disabled kids in the house. The protagonist does a good job balancing being a frightened helpless victim while constantly attempting daring escapes.
Some good tension and suspense, and it gets genuinely nasty in parts. A good, short read, which works, as the story couldn't fill up many more pages.
Available for Kindle at Amazon.
Read a sample.
Great book,rare and very difficult to find, especially an original printing or first copy of it.
