Exclusive cover premiere of Eric Red’s next book White Knuckle

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

We're big fans of Eric Red around these parts. Though he may be best known as the writer of THE HITCHER and NEAR DARK, or from his directorial work on BODY PARTS, BAD MOON and 100 FEET, the jack-of-all-trades is also an accomplished author. We've brought you reviews of his werewolf western "The Guns of Santa Sangre" and the ocean-set alien invasion romp "It Waits Below" and today we're stoked to bring you the EXCLUSIVE cover reveal for his next book, "White Knuckle", which promises to roll over us with 18-wheels of terror.

Here’s the tagline:

"There’s a killer on the road…

He’s a big rig truck driver who goes by the CB handle White Knuckle, and he’s Jack the Ripper on eighteen wheels. For thirty years he has murdered hundreds of women in unimaginable ways, imprisoning them in a secret compartment in his truck, abducting them in one state and dumping their dead bodies across the country.

Dedicated FBI agent Sharon Ormsby is on a mission to hunt down and stop White Knuckle. She goes undercover as a truck driver with a helpful long hauler named Rudy in a cross-country pursuit that will ultimately bring her face-to-face with White Knuckle in a pedal-to-the-metal, high-octane climax on a highway to Hell."

Samhain Publishing will be releasing "White Knuckle" on June 2, 2015.

Samhain Publishing Executive Editor Don D’Auria's had this to say about Red: 

“Like all the best writers—and directors—Eric Red is versatile.  Whether he’s dealing with the supernatural or the psychological, he knows exactly how to get the maximum suspense and tension out of any scene. He’s a master at it!”

10-4 to that! I can't wait to pick this one up when it releases on June 2. Check out the EXCLUSIVE cover art reveal below.
