About this title

About the Author:

He lives in northern California with his wife.

From Library Journal:

When trucker Bill Ketter dallies with a lot lizard (a young female hooker working the truck stops), he gets a bit more than he bargained for. The "lizard" is a vampire, one of several hauled from stop to stop by the repulsive Carsey Brothers, and against his will Bill becomes one of the undead. Following the brothers and their cargo to another stop where he meets his ex-wife and children, Bill finds himself battling the vampires and their age-old leader for the life of his teenaged son. Garton has crafted a nifty contemporary adult horror novel with perhaps more sex and gore than usual for the genre. Its single setting provides the right claustrophobic stage for the episodic story; however, the quick pace works against the reader's empathizing with the characters, and some of the action seems anticlimactic. Nevertheless, horror fans will find much to savor in this offbeat but effective thriller. For large genre collections.
