Özet
 Four short novels from the author of THE FIREMAN and HORNS, ranging from creepy horror to powerful explorations of our society.
One autumnal day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails, splinters of bright crystal that tear apart anyone who isn't safely under cover. 'Rain' explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as clouds of nails spread out across the country and the world. Amidst the chaos, a girl studying law enforcement takes it upon herself to resolve a series of almost trivial mysteries . . . apparently harmless puzzles that turn out to have lethal answers.
In 'Loaded' a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun movement. Under the hot glare of the spotlights, though, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it...
'Snapshot, 1988' tells the story of an kid in Silicon Valley who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician, a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid that can steal memories...
And in 'Aloft' a young man takes to the skies to experience parachuting for the first time . . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero's island of roiling vapour that seems animated by a mind of its own.
Read by Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Dennis Boutsikaris and Stephen Lang

Eleştirmen yorumları

In these four novellas, Joe Hill shows himself to be a high-concept übermaster. From a single idea, he weaves brilliantly inventive and character-driven stories that enthral and thrill. (Jamie Buxton)
Hill really embraces the shorter format to really grab the reader by the throat. This is a must. (SFX)

Definitely Joe's best book so far. characters were more engaging. He is getting there. 20 words more for a review but I was done in the 1st sentence.

Would you try another book written by Joe Hill or narrated by the narrators?

Yes, I enjoyed NOS4R2, also read by Kate Mulgrew.
Wasn't a massive fan of Dennis Boutsikaris' narration, but That could be because I really didn't enjoy the story that he narrated.

Would you ever listen to anything by Joe Hill again?

Yes, as mentioned, NOS4R2 was good, might try another Joe Hill book

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?

I thought Stephen Lang did a good job of narrating as a whole.

Any additional comments?

The first story is ok, although Wheatton's attempt at a South African accent made my toes curl!!
The second novella is a really good listen. Dark, surprising and worth a listen.
The third is awful.
The fourth isn't bad, but it wasn't groundbreaking, and definitely didn't feel like an original idea.

2nd story (Loaded) seemed a bit pointless to me so didn’t feel I could rate this book any higher. All stories were very well read tho but not even a good narrator could have saved ‘loaded’

3 out of 4

There are some great stories in this book. Two of them sounded a bit daft to start with, but I stuck with them and am really glad I did.

Great stories

This is 4 completely unrelated stories. All are read well but I felt Kate Mulgrew was the weaker narrator, which I was surprised at. The stories have a very diverse range, realistic crime, supernatural, all-out strange and weird. I originally got this book as I thought the best value for money at 14+ hours long! Having the 4 stories makes it nice to have a break and they each lasted the day at work. If you have no qualms about what type of story I would recommend.

Overall a good listen with a decent length
