A review by geoffstokker
N0S4A2 by Joe Hill

4.0

I loved Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box and maybe that excellent debut somewhat influenced my expectations of his latest offering. It felt as though this story was lifted from one of his father's notebooks for stories he might wish to write in future. And then written by either of the Kings. There was even King's obligatory reference to the Dark Tower hidden in the story; which was really one of several things including the tone of the story which had me questioning the origins of the story.

The novel was excellently written and I suppose Joe Hill's only sin was the fact that it felt far too close to his own father's work.

If Charlie Manx had dressed up as Santa this could have definitely been Joe Hill's IT.
