A review by matthewcpeck
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

4.0

An exceptional piece of New England horror/fantasy, and the fastest 700-page book I've read. Hill has Neil Gaiman's knack for mixing the mundane with the enchanted, and it's refreshing that the characters' psyches tend to be permanently screwed-up from their supernatural encounters, instead of bouncing back like nothing happened. I wasn't as fond of Hill's attempts at crass, grisly, Cryptkeeper-level wisecracks. But these are few and and far between, and the ending is perfect.
