Okay, how good is this book? Anyone who follows me knows that I love Stephen King, but I think Joe Hill is inching his way up into that eschelon of beloved authors. His writing is just so visceral. It takes the unassuming world, the humdrum place we live, and opens up all the hidden doors. Our night...
This is one of the first books that I've read that I'd count as a horror book. The characters are great, the villain is really creepy, and the premiss is interesting. That being said I just didn't dig this book that much as I'd thought I would after reading some of Hill's other stuff. The book sta...

There is King and Koontz and now Joe Hill and I'm so glad he has joined the party. NOS4A2 sounds like a code to redeem for a free movie from Red Box, but its the best seller from Mr. Hill and what a book it is. He has no problem keeping up with the best like King and Koontz. This is one that will ke...
Let’s get this out of the way first, okay? I know the original title of the book is NOS4A2. However, here in the UK, the title was changed by the publisher to NOS4R2 to reflect the British pronunciation, so that’s what I’ll be using.It’s like that old song, Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off, with the w...
As I don't even like to be in the same room as the Nosferatu at my local movie monster wax museum (Nightmare Galley), it's probably a good thing that I somehow totally ignored the vanity plate wordplay for NOS4A2. I'm pretty late to the game in reading my first Joe Hill, so I can't imagine I have ...
I was a huge King fan as a teenager, along with Dean Koontz and Clive Barker, although I've drifted somewhat from horror in the last 20 years. And there's no way you can pick up this book without mentally comparing it with Stephen King, so I'm going to just flat out shamelessly make the comparison. ...
NOS4A2 is a very good, albeit long-ish, novel from the creative imagination of Joe Hill. I really enjoyed this one. The characters were drawn out very well and the story was engaging throughout. Charlie Manx was a really great character (along with his ’38 Rolls Royce Wraith) that I will remember lo...
