Authors, readers, critics, media − and booksellers.

I picked up this collection because I had heard that one of Stephen King's sons was dabbling in the horror genre, and I wanted to see if he was, well, any good. It took roughly three pages for me to determine that Joe Hill is a superb suspense storyteller, who manages it in a way that both evokes his father's tone while firmly establishing his own unique voice. Good, creepy stuff, and the winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Fiction Collection in 2005.
