About the book
You are about to travel along the strange highways of human experience: the adventures and terrors and failures and triumphs that we know as we make our way from birth to death, along the routes that we choose for ourselves and along others onto which we are detoured by fate. It is a journey down wrong roads that can lead to unexpectedly and stunningly right destinations... into subterranean depths where the darkness of the human soul breeds in every conceivable form... over unfamiliar terrain populated by the denizens of hell. It is a world of unlikely heroes, haunted thieves, fearsome predators, vengeful children, and suspiciously humanlike robots. As profound as it is mesmerizing STRANGE HIGHWAYS is a remarkable achievement. As the Washington Post Book World put it: "His perennial bestsellers are engrossing entertainments that transcend the possibilities of any one of the genres from which they borrow."
