Des nouvelles de qualité inégales

Commenté en France le 3 octobre 2019

Habituée aux romans de cet auteur que j'apprécie beaucoup, j'ai été un peu déçue par certaines de ses nouvelles. Les "fins" surtout, un peu bâclées, un peu "facile" (laissées à l'imagination du lecteur). Mais dans quelques unes on retrouve les qualités de l'auteur des romans. Donc, pas mal, mais...

Underwhelming

I’m a big fan of Joe Hill, but this compilation of short stories didn’t really hit the mark. The title is a little misleading as most of the stories can’t be construed as ghostly tales in any way. The endings on a lot of them felt rushed, almost as if he couldn’t quite be bothered. I’ll stick to his novels in future.

Not keen at all.

Short stories but didn't really find any of them memorable. Or exciting. Don't be fooled by the word Ghosts. Doesn't really apply.

Joe Hill

some stories were really well written but some left me wondering what it was about, Joe Hill has a very unusual writing style that is sometimes a little difficult to follow, however i did enjoy most of the stories.

Disappointed

Quite disappointed. I LOVED Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box which is a full-length very creep story.

Not As Good As His Dad

Not up to his dad's standards. He probably uses a pseudonym to avoid bring compared to his dad but being a huge Stephen King fan I can't help it. I enjoyed Joe Hill's novels better than this collection of short stories.

Great stories (especially the first) but too many "no ending" endings.

Great stories (especially the first ) but too many " no ending " endings. FYI - I loved LOADED by Joe Hill - a lot.

WHY is this print-on-demand?!

Commenté au Japon le 26 novembre 2021

Achat vérifié

I bought this book from Amazon Japan and thought nothing of it because it's from a regular publisher, not self-published. And yet they have the audacity, the nerve, the gall, and the temerity to send their print-on-demand version. I was disappointed, but not angry, until I finally found a normal printed copy yesterday in a bookstore in Tokyo. I don't know how others feel about the print-on-demand books, but I would be more than happy to wait a little longer to receive a proper book rather than that rigid book with that cover with that gawd-awful texture that somehow feels oily yet velvety to the touch. If the return window hadn't closed already I would send it back.

As for the book itself, I bought it because an upcoming movie is based on one of the stories, and it looked interesting. The story was "meh"—no need to see the movie now. I image I will get around to reading some of the other stories at some point in time, but I didn't have a problem putting the book down.

I wish I wouldn't have read the introduction, first...

I enjoyed 20th Century Ghosts. Hill had a few really original ideas for some of his short stories. They kept me interested and entertained. But, that was all - although, reading in the horror/dark fiction genre, I do think many in the audience are not exactly reading to discover some hidden life lesson interwoven among the fabric of the story (and this OKAY - I as I consider myself in the many).

I do think (and the following is also evident - to me - in NOS4A2) there there is a very subtle misogynist bent in his writing style. There is nothing overt, but I found myself, at times, on the verge of being offended during some of his exposition. There is nothing I can completely pinpoint or put my finger on, but I just felt it (so, I suppose it could just be me - any thoughts in response to this are welcome!); it was much like the unspoken reality which many women deal with daily. It's not stated bluntly, but you can feel and tend to react to the implication behind the situation. If this was on purpose, Mr. Hill, I applaud you - because it clearly garnered the reaction for which you may have been hoping. My two favorite stories within the collection were "Best New Horror" and "Scheherazade's Typewriter." I mention them here because not only did I really like the stories, I think, at least subconsciously, I didn't pick up on the tone I'm referring to in either. (An aside: I LOVED the story, "Thumbprints," it was well-written and the protagonist was not just well-fleshed out but *real* feeling.)

As far as reading the introduction first: I was INCREDIBLY excited to start the book. It was made to sound like each and every one of the stories were riveting and would have me biting my nails and... not so much... I think I may have appreciated the stories much more if weren't so... hyped.

That all being said: I liked the book. It was a good read. I would recommend it to any of whom enjoy this genre. Why isn't this a 5 star rating, then? In this vein of fiction, The Sparrow and Children of God (Mary Doria Russell) are 4 star books. To me, James Tiptree and Octavia Butler are 5 star authors. I do think that Hill has the potential to be a 4 star author (like, but not like, his father, as they do have very different writing styles and ... "vibes" is all I think.
