From the New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Horns comes this award-winning collection of short fiction.

Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945. . . .

Francis was human once, but now he's an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .

John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of '77, when his idiot savant younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds. . . .

The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . .

Every single bit is so richly written, unpredictable and original! The narration is pleasant to listen to throughout, which I appreciate because I often listen to audiobooks while I fall asleep. BUT don't listen to this at bedtime if you aren't prepared for some shivers and nightmare fuel!

I highly recommend! (I wish I could say more, but I don't want to give any spoilers)

Wonderful!

I'm not normally into collections of short stories like this. All too often at least some of them completely fall flat for me, and undermine the book as a whole. In fact, I can't remember a single one I've read that I would recommend.... until this one.

The beauty of this book isn't even just in how good the stories are - it's in how different they are: from tales of genuine horror and suspense, as you'd expect from Hill, to ones that are heart-warming and almost silly.

Take for example, Pop Art - I won't say anything in terms of what it's about, cause discovering that is an experience in and of itself... but at first I thought he was speaking in metaphor, then I thought it was going to be some comedic romp, and by the end I was almost in tears.

I can't say it strongly enough: nobody writes short stories - especially ones of such varied tone and subject matter - as well as Joe Hill. At least, if anyone does, I haven't discovered them yet.

Whether it's listening to the audio version or reading hard copy: you really do need to read this book.

Joe Hill is a master of short, varied fiction

Joe Hill is right up there with Stephen King as far as I’m concerned. Some of the stories weren’t my favourite, but that’s to be expected in a collection.
Definitely worth the purchase.

Fantastic listen

Not wat l'd hopee for. There were a few good ones, but mostly the stories seemed incomplete. Pared down to 6 hours, l'd have given it 4 stars.

Meh.
