About this audiobook
From the New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Horns comes this e-short story—from Joe Hill’s award-winning collection 20th Century Ghosts.
Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .
Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town. . . .
Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he's an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .
John Finney is locked in a basement that's stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Sounded like a middle school kid wrote this, the first Joe Hill story that's disappointed me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a nice little story. Bradburian notes, roalddahlian landscapes. Enjoy the silence!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two fantastic stories. Haunting and without solid endings, leaving the reader something to think about. I love this guy.
Totally worth the read.
I didn't know that this was only two short stories when I started it. They're a part of a larger collection by Hill called '20th Century Ghosts' which I fully intend to read. I'll replace that with this if I read it this year. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Clever but shorter than I anticipated
Just like my review - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Muito bizarro, e mórbido, mas muito bem escrito e narrado. Adorei.
