The short story was first published in 2009 in an anthology titled He Is Legend and was followed by a 2012 comic book adaptation from IDW Publishing.

In Throttle, which is being adapted for the screen by ​Leigh Dana Jackson:

"A father and son led biker gang are terrorized by a big rig truck on an isolated stretch of the American desert."

David S. Goyer and Keith Levine are producing through their Phantom Four label.
