Leaving the Light by Christine Schnell
Vampires. There are many stories out there. There are many mysteries surrounding this elusive race. Each person has his own idea of what a Vampire is and what powers one would possess if they were to exist at all.

We may never know if there is truth to any of these stories. This is the story of Antoniette Aloise, a young woman who thought her life was rather boring, until she met the man of her dreams. He changed her life forever, he and the vampires who had taken her prisoner.

"Lightning flashes and almost immediately afterwards the windows shudder and there's a deafening crash that makes me jump and I spill some of the whisky as I raise the tumbler to my mouth. My hands are shaking, partly because of the storm but mainly because of what's in the envelope. It goes quiet then, an unearthly silence, as the eye of the storm passes over the house, the pressure so intense that I can feel my ears pop and I swallow hard. I put down the empty tumbler and refill it, and then slit open the envelope with a paper knife in the shape of a miniature Spanish sword. The air is thick, too thick to breath, and my skull feels as if it's going to burst like an overripe watermelon ..."

Serial by Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch
Offered by Hachette and Sony eBook Store. Can be read on PC or eBook reader.Requires free registration; see "How It Works" at top right of screen. 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 raving nutcase.
So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2?
When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction 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 psycho win.
