Su questo libro

Recensione:

[T]he collection should establish its author as a major player in 21st-century fantastic fiction. Hill s subject matter is steeped in the pop culture and tabloid detritus of the last 50 years...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. A (Washington Post)

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))

Alternately sad, scary, strange and at times even sweet, these tales will haunt you long after you ve read them. (Parade (a Parade Pick))
