Pages: 496
This is my 113th read for the year
What Amazon Says:
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" - now an episode on Shudder Tv's Creepshow - two young frinds sumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water's edge, a discovery that forces them to confrton the inescapable truth of their own mortality. 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 motocycle outlaws in "Throttle" cowritten with Stephen King.
This was a pretty good book. I liked about half the stories. The first two were really good. The next few were just okay, and then the last one was a story - In the Tall Grass - has been made into a Netflix show. Joe Hill is a great writer - I have enjoyed many of his books in the past. I am just not a huge fan of short stories. They always are hit or miss for me.
