A smidge of Chronicle here…written five years before the flick.

If you discovered that you had a magical cape, what would you do? Hopefully not the same thing as Eric.

What a twist ending! My jaw dropped the way it hasn’t reading a book in a long time. What starts off as a really sweet story about childhood innocence persisting through hardship becomes a really terrifying story of someone who never properly grew up. Throw the great concept in with Joe Hill’s exceptional character writing and you have yourself a hell of a short story.

2.5 stars, a good concept but not well executed

Joe Hill Does It Again!
The Cape is another perfect example of Joe Hill's ability to think outside of the normal and five straight into the dark side. The Cape starts out as any good coming of age story might and quickly turns into a twisted story that, for some, may just hit a little to close to home. Whether you think your a fan of caped super hero's or not, this is a book you can't pass up. The writing is fast paced and gritty as has come to be expected with Joe Hill and the artwork is right therewith it. This story kept me turning pages until it was over.
