Walking through the apocalypse

Rain by Joe Hill

March 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport,  Illustrator lives in UK I did not rate Rain a five because it was the best, but because it really hit me in the right feels. Plus, there are some amazing alternative images at the end.  It is probably a 4.5 but I was feeling generous as this is an experience book that had I been having another experience than what was happening while reading, this book wouldn’t have worked. You need to give this book time, read the illustrations, read slowly as if […]

A Great Collection of Short Horror Stories

Full Throttle by Joe Hill

November 1, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

Any book I buy twice is a good one, and Full Throttle lived up to my recollections as fast-paced, fun reading. This book collects of a bunch of Joe Hill’s short stories, and it’s a great representation of his work. Two stories in here are co-written with his father, but the bulk of the collection is Hill’s work alone, and he really knows how to write. Someone once said that Hill writes better King than King does, which is debatable, but I tore through this […]

Vir2ous if O4ly Long

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

May 1, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

It’s the mid eighties, the land of Stranger Things nostalgia, and eight year old Victoria ‘Vic’ McQueen (aka The Brat) has just discovered something interesting: if she hops on her bike and cycles through to a certain spot in the woods by the river, a magic bridge will appear. Whenever something has been lost all Vic has to do is cross the bridge and she will end up where the lost object is. But something else is lost as well: across the country, young children […]

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

The Green Man by Kingsley Amis

April 29, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

20th Century Ghosts – 3/5 Stars Decidedly a mixed bag for me on this first collection of Joe Hill stories. What’s interesting in part is that the ways in which this book is talked about on the cover, in the introduction, and other places really seems to indicate that they weren’t sure Joe Hill was going to make it, or wanted people to take him seriously. Without a doubt he’s a serious writer, and very talented, but that sort of “son of the most famous […]

More like an idling neutral, actually.

Full Throttle by Joe Hill

January 24, 2021 by Caesar's Wife 2 Comments

Full Throttle is a collection of 13 (heh) short stories penned or co-authored by Stephen King’s spawn, who goes by ‘Joe Hill’ in an admiral attempt not to trade of his father (and mother’s) name. The stories within range from disappointing, to confusing, to middling, to verging on brilliant. It’s an uneven achievement and overall I found it disappointing. The quality of each story was so uneven, I’ve tackled a very brief review of each below… Full Throttle Hill’s answer to a modern retelling of […]
