Stephen Graham Jones' Killer on the Road / The Babysitter Lives pairs two horror novellas in a classic pulp double format. In Killer on the Road, sixteen-year-old Harper's attempt to run away from home turns into a nightmare journey along Route 80. In The Babysitter Lives, Jones reimagines the classic urban legend with his signature blend of horror and social commentary. Together, these stories showcase Jones' ability to transform familiar horror tropes into something fresh and unsettling, revealing the violence lurking beneath American road culture and suburban mythology.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Jones understands that the best horror comes from taking the stories we think we know and showing us what we missed. This double feature proves that familiar territory can still be terrifying when someone with Jones' vision decides to explore it, reminding us that the road and the suburbs have always been dangerous places.
