Description:
"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." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Hill's best stories veer away from the well-trodden creep shows and back alleys of genre writing into more dangerous territory: suburban basements, ball fields and schoolyards." - Washington Post "The collection of short stories ranges from creepy to sweet, with an impressive arsenal of tactics to attack your psyche." - Boston Globe "Subtle and disturbing in equal measure." - Coventry Telegraph on 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS "This solid, inventive, scary collection of stories reveals a writer who has thought hard about the problematics of horror." - New York Times on 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS "Each of these chilling tales arrests you from the opening sentence and leads you -- trustingly, thanks to the simple mastery of the story-teller -- into a place of gulping fear." - Daily Mail (London) on 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS "Irresistible stories." - Evening Herald (Ireland) "Alternately sad, scary, strange and at times even sweet, these tales will haunt you long after you've read them." - Parade "[An] inventive collection . . . brave and astute." - New York Times Book Review "[A] new take on the fantasy-horror genre...Highly recommended." - The Sun Herald (Sydney, Australia) "The selections range from the mundane to the surreal, with a strong emphasis on the kind of horror tale perfected by Ray Bradbury, Peter Straub and Stephen King." - San Francisco Chronicle "[O]ne of the best [horror] collections of the year. Hill is a relative newcomer who consistently creates creepy, very disturbing stories." - Locus "Each tale is unique, and the collection proves that Hill's talent is not limited to horror, but extends well into the mainstream." - Denver Rocky Mountain News "20th Century Ghosts is Hill's first collection of short stories and displays consummate skill in a variety of genres . . . Amusing, moving, horrifying--Ghosts runs the full spectrum." - USA Today "[A] lovely, earnest collection of short fiction." - Village Voice
