Just finished Joe Hill's NOS4R2. I really liked it quite a bit. Very reminiscent of Stephen Kings earlier work. There is even a nod to one.
The only thing I was disappointed in was the ending. I mean it ended well, but I felt a bit of it was glossed over that I would have liked to see how it was dealt with. If you've read it you probably know what I mean. But all in all, it was a great read. I highly recommend it!
From Amazon;
NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.
Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether its across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing and terrifying playground of amusements he calls Christmasland.
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for troubleand finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manxs unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. Hes on the road again and hes picked up a new passenger: Vics own son.
