“Joe Hill has become one of my favorite writers to read. Whether it is a novel, novellas, comic books, or short stories(like this collection) I find his writing and tales to be enjoyable. This collection has a bit of fantasy, horror, and humor. There were some great moments of prose inside these tales. I hope Joe never stops writing because as long as he writes and publishes I will happily read what he has to offer. Favorite story in this collection for me is Late Returns — it really had the water works going. Bravo, Joe.” by Amazon Customer
