With manyvoices, she carries the listener through this story of horror, love, andinspiration. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award., In Heart-Shaped Box and Horns , Hill showed hints of an enlarging literary toolbox. With this seven-hundred-page opus, the tool set is complete, and Hill has indeed built something very big...Hill is omnivorous in his appetite for story and character, and here he has created his best., Fascinating and utterly engaging, thisnovel is sure to leave readers wanting more. One thing is certain, however.After reading this book, readers will never hear Christmas carols in quite thesame way again., Quite simply the best horror writer of our generation,Joe Hill's masterful storytelling is on full display in NOS4A2 . It is by turns terrifying and hilarious, horrifying andfull of heart, and relentlessly compelling., Shouldgrab you by the lapels and give you a few good shakes before setting its hooksin--and deep....Hill...puts together a riveting tale., Hill's well-stocked bag of narrativetricks keeps the pages moving at a steady clip, and his characters aresufficiently melodramatic to make the book's scale feel both intimate andoperatic.
