Without a Face

By Lonnie Busch

It's 1967, and people are disappearing...

Kurt and Alice are rousted from their home one night by an intruder in a black suit and fedora. Their retaliation proves futile when the man appears impervious to a shotgun blast. Helpless, Alice and Kurt cower in the back seat of the stranger's black sedan. The automobile races down dark, desolate highways, until Kurt attempts a bold move, putting the stranger in a headlock from behind and forcing the vehicle off the road.

The car jounces madly down the hillside, crashing into a tree, throwing Kurt across the seat. Flames and smoke pour from the hood. Dazed, Kurt finds himself holding the stranger's head, which is now separate from the body. But there is no blood, only wires and tubes dangling from the severed neck. Kurt shakes Alice awake, helping her from the burning wreck before it explodes.

The daring escape sparks a baffling odyssey. Alice and Kurt stumble through dark woods, happen upon a deserted home, discover an odd factory, more lost day by day. To survive, they commit crimes they believed themselves incapable of, until their misadventure culminates in the strangest of all places...
