Read Joe Hill. Now.

Before I leave for vacation I wanted to post about a wonderful collection of short stories I've just finished reading: "20th Century Ghosts" by New Hampshire writer, Joe Hill http://www.joehillfiction.com/. It's a revelatory collection of fantasy/horror/sci-fi.. actually, it's just a revelatory collection. Period. A wonderful writer, Joe tap dances around the macabre, the absurd, the melancholy, he taps into emotion and character that is so often sorely lacking in today's "horror" fiction, though I hate to categorize him as a "horror" writer. He ain't. I can't say enough about it. A wonderful, wonderful writer.

That's 4 wonderfuls.
