Summary:
A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror through the brilliantly imaginative, #1 New York Times bestselling writer of The Fireman, Joe Hill.
‘One of America’s finest horror authors’ (Time newspaper), Joe Hill has been hailed among legendary talents such as for example Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, and Jonathan Letham. In Unusual Weather conditions, this ‘persuasive chronicler of individual nature’s continual war between good and evil,’ (Providence Journal-Bulletin) who ‘pushes genre conventions to about Strange Weather: Four Novellas brand-new extremes’ (NY Times Reserve Review) deftly expose the darkness that is situated just beneath the top of everyday lifestyle.
‘Snapshot,’ performed by Wil Wheaton, may be the troubling story of a Silicon Valley adolescent who discovers himself threatened by ‘The Phoenician,’ a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camcorder that erases remembrances, snap by snap.
A man takes towards the skies to see his first parachute jump . and winds up a castaway with an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s isle of roiling vapor that seems animated with a brain of its own in ‘Aloft,’ performed by Dennis Boutsikaris.
On the seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up inside a downpour of nails-splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not really safely under cover. ‘Rain,’ performed by Kate Mulgrew, explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and all over the world.
In ‘Loaded,’ performed by Stephen Lang, a mall security guard in a coastal Florida city courageously stops a mass taking and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement. But under the glare from the spotlights, his tale begins to unravel, acquiring his sanity with it. When an out-of-control summer blaze approaches the town, he will reach for the gun once again and attempt one last day of reckoning.
With an afterword from Joe Hill, browse by the writer.
Masterfully exploring classic literary themes through the prism from the supernatural, Strange Weather is a stellar collection from an artist who is ‘quite this is the most effective horror author of our generation’ (Michael Kortya).
