Rideshare
A collection of four horrific confessions shared with a NYC rideshare driver.
The narrative framework places Charlie, an experienced New York City driver, at the center of four separate encounters. Each passenger enters his vehicle carrying personal aspirations, only to reveal a darker truth in the backseat. The stories progress from lost innocence to acts of vengeance, creating a sequence of descents into darkness. Kaine and King utilize this confined space to explore themes of corruption and depravity. The text functions as a series of confessions rather than a single continuous plot. Readers witness the passengers' struggles with demons and hidden sins. The structure emphasizes the immediate impact of each encounter, allowing the horror to build through individual, intense episodes rather than a sprawling narrative arc.
This work emerges from the US independent publishing scene, released by Horror House Publishing in January 2026. It engages with the long-standing American tradition of urban supernatural fiction, grounding its gothic elements in the mundane reality of New York City rideshare culture. The text reflects contemporary anxieties about trust and anonymity in modern transportation.
