20th Century Ghosts

By: Joe Hill

Narrated by: David Ledoux

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. . . .

Maybe its just me......

I like Joe Hill and have read/enjoyed (hard copy) Hear-Shaped Box.

This collection of stories was a little difficult for me to warm up to. I only really liked Black Telephone. The rest felt..... unfinished. Maybe its just a writting style Im not used to.

I have to say I liked the reader. He sounded a little like he had a head cold but that "stuffiness" made all the "kid" parts see so real.

Delightful as always

Joe Hill manages to avoid nepotism and becomes a prolific horror writer in his own right. I love the differences between stories and the different types of fear they elicit. Bravo.

Dug it. Want more.

Solid stories. Not haunting or everlasting but all worth a listen. Looking to pick up more from Mr. Hill.

Love this guy

Always loved Joe Hill, and the short stories were perfect for my short attention span these days :-)
