The Darklands

Dale J. Young
4.00/5 (128 ratings)
A sexy hitchhiker with slits on her wrists, a long-haired biker with a fork stuck in his eye, a gated road leading into a burning forest guarded by a man with a gash on his neck… These are just some of the strange people that await poor Barlow McSwain when he finds himself in the middle of a bizarre landscape known as The Darklands.

Barlow’s journey begins when he narrowly avoids a head-on collision with a truck on a winding road leading into the mountains. When he pulls his motorcycle to the side of the road to calm his nerves, a red El Camino arrives and the driver invites Barlow to have a drink at a saloon just up the road. At first he doesn’t think much about the man in the mysterious car, but when Barlow gets back on the road and continues his journey up the mountain he starts to get the sinking feeling that something is just not right.

On his way to the saloon Barlow stops at a gas station that appears to be from a bygone era. There he meets Velton, the gas station attendant who proudly displays his 1947 Knucklehead Harley Davidson to Barlow. But there is something strange about Velton that Barlow can’t quite put his finger on.

And later, when Barlow arrives at the saloon he begins to realize that despite what he might have thought, the near-miss he had with the truck might not have been such a near-miss after all.
