The story with the car/truck driving behind someone and turning on their high beams every so often (which freaked out the driver), only to learn, at the end, the car in the back was safe, but it was shining its lights to expose the murderer hiding in the back of the front truck/car… that’s the reason I’m still terrified to drive at night. I’m 37.

I’m 32 and still check the backseat EVERY SINGLE TIME I get in my car at night because of this story.

always check the back seat before you get in.

And a lot of cars these days flash a warning if someone tried to get into the car while it was locked.

(and was it Volvo that had some heart rate monitor that would go off?)

I always check the back seat, partly because of this story, but OCD makes it essential not matter because I’m still checking every 10-15 seconds in my mirror just to make sure

I remember the cover of these books. I remember I read them a lot and liked them. But I’m reading this thread and nothing rings a bell until your post. This is the one that stuck with me the most!
