Strange Weather: Four Short Novels By Joe Hill *Review*

* I received a eARC of this book for my honest review*





A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman, Joe Hill

“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.

A young man takes to the skies to experience his first parachute jump. . . 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.”

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. “Rain” explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and around the world.

In “Loaded,” a mall security guard in a coastal Florida town courageously stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement. But under the glare of the spotlights, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it. When an out-of-control summer blaze approaches the town, he will reach for the gun again and embark on one last day of reckoning.

MY THOUGHTS

I am a new (ish) fan of Joe Hill.  Other than this book of short story I have only read The Fireman but I do want to read more.

I did enjoy these 4 short stories.  They are all well done. Usually, when I read collections of short stories there is one or more I don't like but I am happy to say that I liked all of them.  

I give this book 4 out of 5. 

You can now purchase Strange Weather: Four Short Novels  By Joe Hil online and in bookstores near you.
