Resumen del Editor

A dazzlingly original, award-winning collection of visions and nightmares from the New York Times best-selling author of Heart-Shaped Box.

Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon on an afternoon in 1945....Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town....Francis is unhappy. He was human once, but that was then. Now he's an eight-foot tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing....John Finney is locked in a basement that's stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead.

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.

Dug it. Want more.

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

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.

Great stories with a subpar reading

If you are fan of Joe Hill, Stephen King, or Neil Gaiman, you’ll enjoy this short story collection. However I would recommend reading rather than listening.

The performer sounds like he has a cold through out his performance. It’s subtle, but once you notice it, it is both distracting and annoying.
