Description
In this masterful collection of short fiction, Joe Hill dissects timeless human struggles in thirteen relentless tales of supernatural suspense, including "In The Tall Grass," one of two stories co-written with Stephen King, basis for the terrifying feature film from Netflix.
A little door that opens to a world of fairy tale wonders becomes the blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in "Faun." A grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique Bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in "Late Returns."
In "By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain," two young friends stumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water's edge, a discovery that forces them to confront the inescapable truth of their own mortality... and other horrors that lurk in the water's shivery depths.
And tension shimmers in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in "Throttle," co-written with Stephen King.
Featuring two previously unpublished stories, and a bevy of shocking chillers, Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics have praised Full Throttle as a collection of miniature masterworks that blend subtle and shocking horror. Kirkus lauds it as a set of "deliciously sinister tales" capturing the everyday terrors of life. The New York Times Book Review highlights Hill’s skill in crafting seamless stories with memorable, jaw-dropping endings. Publishers Weekly calls it a versatile showcase of Hill’s mastery of scares, and SFF World recommends it as proof of his storytelling prowess. CrimeReads notes Hill’s ability to excel across the genre, while the San Francisco Chronicle compares him to Harlan Ellison, praising his depiction of cruel characters confronting harsh truths.
