The Fireman was the first of his books that I was ready & waiting for upon its release, and that will always be a special memory. Which broke me into fucking pieces & I just loved it.įrom there, I read NOS4A2 which instantly became an all-time favorite (and I really struggled with it for maybe 50-75 pages before everything clicked into place for me, and I realized how fucking special it was).

That said, there was more than enough there to get me to pick up another of his books, Horns. My first experience with his work was with Heart-Shaped Box.

Just an obscenely talented storyteller, I think. Like, he is a fucking treasure that we likely don’t deserve.

On a seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails-splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover. and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems animated by a mind of its own in Aloft. Snapshot is the disturbing story of a Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by “The Phoenician,” a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap.Ī young man takes to the skies to experience his first parachute jump. A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, Joe Hill
