RE: Book Review: Strange Weather - Four Short Novels | Joe Hill
Ahh, it appears you've returned to horror's icy embrace. We'll make a devotee out of you yet.
Hill certainly had the opportunity to learn from the master, and it's nice to see that not only does he pound out good, thought-provoking content, but he's not just aping his dad either.
Maybe maybe. ;-)
It really doesn't get much better then having Stephen King as one's father (and model to work from). That said all the kudos to Hill for choosing to go under a pen name instead of the 'King' name.
I haven't read any of his novels yet. Eventually I'll read some of Stephen King's short stories, too, see if I enjoy those a bit more than the novels...
I'm of the opinion that Stephen King's short stories are nearly always better than his
doorstopsnovels. Most of my favorite works of his are found in his short story anthologies, including The Mist, which is technically a novella, but still.'The Jaunt' from Skeleton Crew is one of my favorite pieces of his short fiction, along with 'Survivor Type'. :)
