72nd St. Films is developing a feature film based on the infamous Jack Ketchum novel, Joyride.

Howard deserved to die. For years, he abused his wife physically, verbally, and psychologically. Even after the separation, he kept coming back for more.

Carol and her lover, Lee, knew there was only one way to stop Howard for good. They planned every detail. And they thought they'd planned the perfect crime.

But a stranger named Wayne has been watching. Now Wayne wants to be their friend. He wants to share the thrill of murder with them.

And he wants to take Carol and Lee on a road trip... straight to hell...

There's a dark streak of American genius in this book. Be warned: Ketchum never stops, never flinches, never turns aside. He is, quite simply, one of the best in the business, on par with Clive Barker, James Ellroy, and Thomas Harris. Hey, want some good advice? Don't open this book unless you intend to finish it the same night. —Stephen King

"Sex, guns and deranged psychopathic conversation: who could ask for anything more?"
