The Black Phone: Stories by Joe Hill
5.0
Originally published as “20th Century Ghosts”, the collection was reissued in anticipation of the release of the movie adaptation of one story, “The Black Phone”
Solid assortment of stories here, ranging from slightly creepy to downright terrifying with even a touch of Ray Bradbury thrown in. In several of the stories, you may not be sure what you are dealing with until the very end. This was part of the joy of reading this collection… starting off each story with “I wonder what Joe has up his sleeve here?”
As with most collections, there will be favorites and others that may miss the mark (slightly!) for you but overall, I highly recommend this collection.
I would like to thank the publisher William Morrow for providing a giveaway copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
