A review by kitsuneheart
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
4.0
Whew! Reviewing this was a bit of a challenge! If you're interested in the individual stories from the collection, check around for my reviews, since I was able to write a review for each of them! That will give you a more in-depth look at my feelings about the writing.
My stand-out favorite story was "Voluntary Committal," about two brothers, one a delinquent in with a very dangerous friend, and the other an autism-coded builder of...well, basically cardboard eldritch horrors.
There's certainly some weaker stories, most notably "You Will Hear the Locust Sing," but the overall quality of the stories, and the surpassing quality of the best few, makes a 4-star review well-deserved.
