Sinossi
Un inseguimento a tutto gas tra una banda di bikers e un camionista pazzo che si trasforma in una danza macabra nel deserto del Nevada; fratello e sorella che si addentrano in un campo di erba alta attirati dalle grida disperate di un bambino; una porticina che conduce in un mondo dove gli echi delle fiabe si tingono di sangue: la paura ha tanti volti in questa raccolta di racconti firmata da Joe Hill, e leggerli è come spingersi in una galleria degli orrori che ci terrorizza ma ci trascina dentro. Ipnotiche e inquietanti, queste tredici storie scavano nelle nostre fragilità nascoste, nei segreti che ci tormentano, nelle paure più profonde. Sono incubi che affondano le radici nella vita reale per assumere spesso connotati fantastici o soprannaturali; sono tredici tappe di una odissea dark nei meandri più oscuri della mente umana. Tra storie totalmente inedite e altre già edite - due delle quali scritte a quattro mani con Stephen King: "A tutto gas" ("Bikers") e "Nell'erba alta". A quest'ultima è anche ispirato l'omonimo film prodotto da Netflix.

…a child has only the two parents, but if you’re lucky enough to be an artist for a living, ultimately you wind up with a few mothers and fathers. When someone asks a writer, ”Who’s your daddy?” the only honest answer is, “That’s complicated.” You might need some version of Ancestry.com to label Leggi tutto
I’m mostly into novels and short stories are not my first choice to read but when it comes to evil genius thriller writers, like MY ALL TIME KING that I take a bow and THE PRINCE HILL create something new, I jump up and down to perform my happy dance, grabbing the book, turning off my phone, gatheri Leggi tutto
”It’s quite common to enter a library and find yourself in conversation with the dead. The best minds of generations long gone crowd every bookshelf. They wait there to be noticed, to be addressed, and to reply in turn. In the library the dead meet the living on collegial terms as a matter of course Leggi tutto
So here's the thing. I think the audiobook medium really works to Hill's advantage because he's such a nerdy sweetheart in the introductions that it makes you just love him and want to love his books. Throttle - 3 stars This one was written with his father, Stephen King. As I mentioned, I love Joe
Final Average Rating – 4.07 Stars I enjoyed this collection of Joe Hill short stories and flew through the audiobook – I could not stop listening! It had its high points (Late Returns) and low points (Thumbprint) but, overall, a solid collection. I have included my short review of each story below – Leggi tutto
I'm not the biggest fan of short stories but I am a fan of Joe Hill and he was able to draw me in with this collection of short stories. I had previously read the two short stories in this collection which he co-wrote with his father - Full Throttle and In the Tall Grass. There are quite a few short Leggi tutto
”A child has only two parents, but if you’re lucky enough to get to be an artist for a living, ultimately you wind up with a few mothers and fathers.” Well, this is the first time that a Joe Hill book has disappointed me. It’s a real shame, because I used to shout from the rooftops that I have basica Leggi tutto
Introducción: una introducción de su vida y como comenzó a escribir. 1. Acelera. Escrito a dos manos con Stephen King. Un grupo de moteros huye por la carretera mientras un camión los persigue y los atropella uno a uno. 2. El carrusel de las sombras: unos adolescentes son perseguidos por unos caballos Leggi tutto
So right now this review is just for Late Returns , a Locus award-nominated novelette in this collection (plus a few brief comments on other stories ... we'll see how many of them I get to before I have to send this book back to the library). :) Review first posted on Fantasy Literature : Joe Hill, who Leggi tutto
A nice effort by the son of the "King" of horror. Thirteen well-written stories that will help you go full-throttle through this book. Some will be quite memorable.
