Reviews

Hill's stories are visceral and nasty in places, but never gratuitous. The collection as a whole is polished and well written. Even the most macabre themes are handled exceptionally well, so one story ever feels exploitative or trashy. Joe Hill is definitely one to watch. - Ross Sutcliffe - Sci-Fi Now

Fully developed characters with complex emotional lives enhance the 14 stories in Joe Hill's extraordinary collection, 20th Century Ghosts. There's not a false note or disappointing effort in this volume from the author of the bestselling novel Heart-Shaped Box. Hill's is one of the most confident and assured new voices in horror and dark fantasy in recent years. (Morrow, $24.95 320p ISBN 9780-06-114797-5) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

David Ledoux's straightforward, precise narration builds the perfect atmosphere for these imaginative tales. Hill's delightfully creepy collection received the 2008 Audie Award for Short Stories/Essays/Collections. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
