Chargement... 20th Century Ghost [short story]par Joe Hill
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) ChrisConway | Dec 21, 2011 |  Thanks Joe Hill. I had read his debut novel Heart Shaped Box a year or two ago and thought it was decent. Not good enough to rush out and buy his next effort, but good enough to keep him in mind. If the introduction had been reversed and this was the first book I read from Hill, I'd be carrying Heart Shaped Box in my bag right now. Hill writes well. However, he tells a story even better. His writing isn't one note either. He does horror, he does mystery, he even does a little drama. Plus, he does horror. He offers a little over-the-top horror, but he also offers the Hitchcock-style psychological teases as well. Well-worth the read and a perfect book to engulf over Halloween weekend. (  ) Sean191 | Nov 1, 2010 | I'm not quite sure what to say here. Well,I take that back, there is a lot I want to say about this book. First of all, Joe Hill, what happened? I expected a book full of “ghost” stories, or at least “scary” stories, but what I ended up reading was a few good scary stories, and a bunch of stuff to fill pages in a book. I tried to give you some credit, being a Boston author, and throwing in some Boston humor, but even that couldn't componsate for the majority of the stories that, I'm not quite sure,had anything to do with a ghost story. I will give credit to the truly scary “ghost” stories as being really good. Unfortunatly, they were outnumbered by stories that could have been written by fifth graders given a creative writing assignment. A couple of stories could have been written by college freshman who have not learned that it is quality that makes a story, not quanitiy of pages. I was bored out of my mind at stories that wouldn't end, and left scratching my head, wondering why some of the stories were even in the book. Overall, it was pretty dissapointing, because there was some good stuff in it...buried. (  ) crazyjster | Sep 1, 2010 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This e-short story from the New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Horns now features an excerpt from Joe Hill's novel The Fireman. 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 one 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. Francis 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. . . . Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
