This book feels like someone took all of Stephen Kings stories and fed them to ChatGPT and then asked it to write something.
It also reads a bit like a Stephen King fanfiction with hidden references all over the place and many of the characters being extremely similar to King characters (i.e. Trash Can Man > Bing aka Gas Mask Man).
It's clear that Joe Hill has talent of his own, but not enough is able to shine through in this work as it rides a bit too much on his fathers coat tails.
