Kurzbeschreibung
Road Rage unites Richard Matheson's classic Duel and the contemporary work it inspired—two power-packed short stories by three of the genre's most acclaimed authors. Duel, an unforgettable tale about a driver menaced by a semi truck, was the source for Stephen Spielberg's acclaimed first film of the same name. Throttle, by Stephen King and Joe Hill, is a duel of a different kind, pitting a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws, in the simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only thing worse than not knowing what you're up against, is slowing down . . .
Über den Autor

Joe Hill and his father sat down together to write an hommage to Richard Matheson's "Duel" which has been the source for the script of Mr. Spielberg's early thriller. And where there a salesman gets in a duel with a truckdriver on lonely highways, the King/Hills replace him by a whole motorbike-gang.
Deep psychological insightsd into people in extremis which is convincingly interpreted by Mr. stephen Lang. All in all quite a good audio-book that I personally recommend.

Father and Son "Duel"
18. März 2009
"Road Rage" contains two stories: Richard Matheson's classic "Duel," and an homage to that tale entitled "Throttle" by father-and-son duo Stephen King and Joe Hill. Both stories are excerpted from the Gauntlet Press anthology He Is Legend: An Anthology Celebrating Richard Matheson.
How do King and Hill fare in their first collaboration? Pretty good, especially considering that their mission was to craft an homage to Matheson's original tale.
Both stories are entertaining for entirely different reasons. While the two stories share a similar premise (a faceless truck driver with road rage), they are very different tales. Matheson's story is all about escalating tension; the King/Hill collaboration begins at full throttle and never lets up. "Duel" is subtle; "Throttle" is visceral.
If you're a King fan but don't want to spend $60 for the limited edition anthology, the "Road Rage" audiobook is an economical alternative. I would expect it to be collected in a future King or Hill collection, though, so it's not a necessary purchase for most King fans. The film option has already been picked up, so it could see a mass market paperback release when (if?) the movie is released.
