This collection was good. Not great, but really enjoyable. The first story was my favorite, no doubt, but the third one came very close.
There is talent in Joe Hill, no doubt.

A good mix of stories, some grounded in reality and others more fanciful. Weather is a unifying theme of the stories, but they are standalone novellas bundled together. Each story felt slow to begin with but they build up momentum and are hard to put down in the closing chapters.

4 Novellas... 3 are kinda of silly, but the second is real 5 star material.

Something in me thought this was more than just four short stories? I have no idea, however I really vibed with a good chunk of this collection.

I can't say I can personally recommend this. I absolutely despised one of the stories, it almost made me rage quit Joe Hill forever. The other three were ranged from "meh" to alright. Debated between 1 and 2 stars, going with 2 because I did finish it in the end, so it must have had something going for it.

Another great work by Joe Hill! Seriously, this guy cannot write fast enough, I can't wait to read more from him!

Not terrible, but mostly a bit depressing stories. Some of the writing was a bit cheesy/trite as well. I'd give another Joe Hill book a go, maybe, but this one just wasn't a good night read for me.
