2020 Audie Awards® WINNER - Short Stories/Collections

The number one New York Times best-selling author of The Fireman and Strange Weather returns with a dark and ingenious collection of 13 compelling short stories that showcase his ability to “push genre conventions to new extremes” (New York Times Book Review), performed by a stunning multi-cast featuring Zachary Quinto, Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Neil Gaiman, Ashleigh Cummings, Joe Hill, Laysla De Oliveira, Nate Corddry, Connor Jessup, Stephen Lang, and George Guidall.

In this masterful collection of short fiction, Joe Hill dissects timeless human struggles in 13 relentless tales of supernatural suspense, including “In The Tall Grass”, one of two stories cowritten with Stephen King, basis for the terrifying feature film from Netflix.

A little door that opens to a world of fairy-tale wonders becomes the blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in “Faun”. A grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in “Late Returns”. In “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain”, two young friends stumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water’s edge, a discovery that forces them to confront the inescapable truth of their own mortality...and other horrors that lurk in the water’s shivery depths. And tension shimmers in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in “Throttle”, cowritten with Stephen King.

Featuring two previously unpublished stories and a brace of shocking chillers, Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears and demonstrates this exceptional talent at his very best.

All and More

A truly exciting book, wonderful stories, writing and narration!
Highly recommended!!
This book is a KEEPER

5 stars- and I haven’t even gotten past the introduction

Well, Joe Hill, if it’s any consolation, I didn’t realize you were “Stephen & Tabitha King’s” son until after purchasing your third audiobook. And I loved every one.

The introduction to this book is one of the finest I’ve ever read & listening to it made it even better. It was quite enlightening, and the intro alone was worth the price of admission.

Fortunately, we had fall clean-up for a big house.

Because if we hadn't been able to take this wild ride all at once, well....we just don't know what!

And it is a ride, through different ages and places, each with its own heart and soul.

The King family has provided us with the best tales since we were young. They're like the Beatles and other classic rockers: we buy everything they give us out of respect, and are always sweetly unsurprised when it's great!

Ehhhhh just ok

Let me start with saying I love Joe Hill.... This collection was simply not something I enjoyed. I had a hard time finishing it honestly. NOS4ATU, Heart Shaped Box, Locke and Key, Horns, The Fireman... all amazing. This, just wasn’t in the same league.

Some good stories

I’d hoped to be scared a bit seeing that King and son are involved. But was disappointed in general.
