Product Description |
The original version of SERIAL, still available as a free ebook, was a 7500 word horror short story done as an experiment.
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 certifiably crazy.
So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Crazy #2?
When Blake Crouch (DESERT PLACES, ABANDON) and Jack Kilborn (AFRAID, CHERRY BOMB), 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 psychopath win.
F. Paul Wilson says, “SERIAL reads just like a Crouch or Kilborn novel: Full speed ahead, no flinching, no blinking, no brakes.”
In less than a year, SERIAL has been downloaded over 200,000 times, and has received over a hundred negative reviews, with many people claiming it is the most depraved, awful thing they've ever read.
SERIAL UNCUT is newly expanded, now more than 36,000 words. Along with the reinsertion of additional material cut from the original version, it also has a vastly expanded beginning and ending, including an extended section that originally appeared in the novella TRUCK STOP by J.A. Konrath.
If you can handle horrific thrills, proceed at your own risk.
But if you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should read something else instead.
The authors are in no way responsible for any lost sleep, missed work, failed relationships, or difficulty in coping with life after you have read SERIAL UNCUT. They will not pay for any therapy you may require as a result of reading SERIAL UNCUT. They will not cradle you in their arms, rock you back and forth, and speak in soothing tones while you unsuccessfully try to forget SERIAL UNCUT.
You have been warned... |

 NON STOP CHILLS |
| Review Date: March 26, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Janeque M. Woods, Hartford, CT |
| I actually read SERIAL UNCUT after reading TRUCK STOP and SERIAL (yes back to back and yes in the same 2 days). SERIAL was a tease...SERIAL UNCUT is the real deal. This book was terrifying. I was sickened and disturbed, but not enough to put it down. It was an amazing ride...scary, kind of funny (I will admit I have a sick sense of humor) and vicious. It starts off hot and never cools off. It ended and I wanted more. I can honestly say it was addictive. The characters are creepy and weird, depraved and unremorseful. However, they were entertaining...lol. I found myself shaking my head a lot and saying "OMG...seriously?" and "EWWWW...seriously?" GREAT JOB! If you like to be terrified, and are looking for yet another reason not to talk to strangers and another reason not to trust some people, and another reason to stay home with the lights on, then get this book...you will not be disappointed. |

I've gotten a lot of email asking about SERIAL UNCUT, and thought it would be easiest to post the questions so others wouldn't have to ask.
Q: How is SERIAL UNCUT different from SERIAL?
A: SERIAL featured two serial killers. SERIAL UNCUT features six serial killers.
Q: If this gorier? More graphic?
A: Yes. We've included scenes of violence that we'd cut from the original version, and we've also lengthened other scenes.
Q: How much of this is completely new?
A: If you've read SERIAL and TRUCK STOP, there is still a lot of new material in SERIAL UNCUT. Many readers wanted more backstory about the killers and what motivated them. So we worked on creating histories for these anti-heroes.
Q: Where do you guys come up with some of this stuff? It's really nasty.
A: We were originally going to write about a serial killer who broke into people's homes and vacuumed their carpets. But that didn't seem too scary. So instead our killers do things that are a bit more extreme.
Q: I've read SERIAL and TRUCK STOP. Is it still worth my time and money to read SERIAL UNCUT?
A: Yes. There's more than enough new material to be worth the $2.99. But beware. This may cause nightmares... |
After going 50 miles an hour down the mountainside....???!

Just finished off Serial: Uncut and I love it even more than I liked Serial and Truck Stop.
Serial: Uncut is an Omnibus edition of sorts which has updated and extended scenes from Serial, Truck Stop and Bad Girl, so just buy this one, and you have them all!
I liked the addition of Lucy and Donaldson's backstory, though when I found got to the present in the "Serial" portion of the story I felt a bit cheated on Lucy's part. There was a whole scene in which Donaldson described how he got rid of his victims, but Lucy just "dumped the bodies" or something to that effect.
After reading it again, I felt that Donaldson and Lucy's battle could have gone on a bit longer before ending in that epic mistake, but I'd settle for another work in which the two of them, especially Lucy, feature. Battling each other, again? Whatever you like, just please make it happen somehow, please?
Buy this, you won't regret it.... unless you're one of the 1-star reviewers from Serial who thought a book about serial killers shouldn't be ABOUT serial killers.... |
Serial Uncut...OMG

| I'm a married mum of 4 grown children & have a read a lot of books over the years so I was hesitant to believe all the hype I'd read about this book, I actually thought "come on, it can't be that bad" Let me assure you it is & its awesome! I couldn't stop reading! Page after page, I was drawn in to the story & as each part ended, I wanted more. Is it depraved? yes, is it sickening? yes, do you want more? Hell yes. I loved it & have been actively searching for more books by the authors since I read it. So do yourself a favour & read it. |
Don't Say They Didn't Warn You!

Having read and thoroughly enjoying 'Serial' and 'Truck Stop', I was excited to pick up Kilborn/Konrath/Crouch's 'Serial Uncut'. I mean, how much worse could it get?
OMFrickenG! Yeah, it is that much worse. I wanted to take a shower after reading it. I just felt icky.
And I LOVED it!!!
I must be an awful person to enjoy this kind of horror. Thanks guys! :)
