“Mason Coile’s (a pseudonym for the late, great Andrew Pyper) Driven is a fast, eerie, violent ride in a smart car with a haunted man who can’t escape the ghosts no matter what he does. Wonderfully written and twisty, this short novel is a bittersweet reminder of Coile’s talent and a great addition to Pyper’s impressive, award-winning catalog… Other than King’s Christine, I have a hard time finding anything that compares to Driven, and the two are very, very different. That’s a great thing. This novel starts like a desperate mix of noir and horror; a depressed, broken man being haunted by ghosts wherever he goes. Then it morphs into a mysterious race to find out what happened, a whodunit with the complications of a smart, weird thriller. Lastly, the tale becomes a race for survival, a mad dash to make things right. Throughout all of it, Coile maintains full control of the narrative and, pardon the pun, the pedal to the metal. Strangely plausible, always moving forward, and wonderfully creepy (there’s a scene with a ghost in a bathroom that is worth the price of entry), Driven delivers a wonderful mix of violence, ghosts, mystery, crime, science fiction, and top-notch psychological horror. Don’t skip this one.” —Gabino Iglesias, Locus Magazine.
