Description: "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 and full of heart, and relentlessly compelling. Hill writes with grace and depth but never at the expense of propulsion, and much like the story''s menacing Rolls-Royce, there''s a powerful engine always humming beneath the dark beauty of his prose. If you enjoy watching the best get better, I suggest you crack the cover--and cancel the rest of your plans for the day." - Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet "Quite simply the best horror writer of our generation, Joe Hill''s masterful storytelling is on full display in NOS4A2.
