Books are patient with those who have learning difficulties.

The rest of the world is not.


Why this book?

  • Because Joe Hill is revealed in this collection of short stories.

    He wrote a mini-autobiography on his life spent alongside his father Stephen King, and his mother Tabitha King, both writers.

    Having wanted to become an author himself very quickly, he was encouraged by his parents, even though he was still far from their level of storytelling.

    He was thus built in a loving family, always surrounded by friends writers or filmmakers attracted by the field of horror.

  • Because the approach of Halloween is the perfect opportunity to scare yourself

    with short but intense stories, where men are sometimes scarier than monsters.

    No one is immune to seeing the main character pass away in the next paragraph or stopping reading after a piece of news to think carefully about it.

    In less than 50 pages per story, Joe Hill, sometimes accompanied by the pen of Stephen King, plunges us into a raw universe where emotions are heightened.

  • Because two of these short stories were co-written with Stephen King,

    and at least one will captivate you, whether you are a fan of thrillers, or a fan of The 

    Lord of the Rings

    ... Each of the 13 short stories brings a different atmosphere, accessible whatever your literary style. prefer.

    This collection can also be a very good introduction to horror stories!
