The Route 66 List #1

A vintage Cadillac sits parked beneath a dusky sky on the shoulder of Route 66 in Illinois, its worn blue chrome catching the last light alongside a weathered state highway sign — an immediately atmospheric opening to what promises to be a road-trip story steeped in Americana. Éric Stalner sets the mood with quiet menace, the long shadows and muted palette suggesting this journey along the Mother Road carries more weight than a simple drive. Published by Cinebook in 2019, this first volume looks like a compelling invitation to hit the blacktop.
