NOS4A2

A Novel

By: Joe Hill

Narrated by: Kate Mulgrew

The spine-tingling, bone-chilling　novel of supernatural suspense from the #1　New York Times　bestselling author of　The Fireman　and　Horns—now an AMC original series starring Zachary Quinto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ashleigh Cummings.

""A masterwork of horror.""—　Time

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be.

Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of the everyday world and onto hidden roads that lead to an astonishing playground of amusements he calls Christmasland. The journey across the highway of Charlie's twisted imagination transforms his precious passengers, leaving them as terrifying and unstoppable as their benefactor.

Then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble...and finds her way to Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Charlie's evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx hasn't stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. On the road again, he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. He's after something very special—something Vic can never replace.

As a life-and-death battle of wills builds, Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Charlie once and for all—or die trying.

Great book

Great book, and the reader is phenomenal! Could not wait to start listening again when I would have to pause it. Kept me interested the whole time.

Kate, please narrate more.

Amazing book, dripping with references to his father's work. Kate is a true performer who has never stopped bettering her craft. If you like stephen king (sorry Joe), you'll love his sons work, which has echoes of his father while remaining true to itself. So. Good.

Never mind the cover art

At first I was a bit put off by the title (and even the cover art) thankfully my interest in the story line overrode my predilections and I purchased it. Really glad I did! Now, I'm no fan of obscenities, but there are a few in this book and I must say that of all I've heard that didn't need the foul language or over did it, this book carried it well and frankly would have been missing something without it.
Honest review here so listen up. This guy, Joe Hill, he's a master. I'm no writer so I can't really describe just how good he is, but it wasn't like reading or even listening to a story. It was like living it. Like... I don't know but it was fantastic! And Kate, Oh man! Her narration has truly set the high bar. I had not heard her narrate before so let me say, there's a new standard to which I hold narrators to and its Kate Mulgrew!You don't want to miss this.

A MUST for King Fans!

What a story! Truly one that the could have come from Stephen himself. I loved everything about this book, the characters, the plot, the narrative performance, the beginning and the end. Subtle references to other books readers of this book would enjoy. I'm a huge King fan and I'm so happy to see that his legacy is already being taken at a good pace. Bravo Joe!!

New Fan

So happy to find this, what a great story, great listening. Can't wait to hear another story by Joe Hill.
