I have come across a newfound favorite author, an interesting twist considering he happens to be the son of my previous favorite writer. Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, has undoubtedly outshone his father in the realm of exceptional writing. Make no mistake, Hill also dabbles in the realms of horror, thriller, and suspense. Yet, he infuses his narratives with a fresh perspective and contemporary insights, drawing upon the current world to captivate his readers.

His latest offering, “Strange Weather: Four Short Novels,” showcases his mastery in crafting shorter stories. However, don’t be misled by the term “short” – it pertains not to their word count, but to their substantial content. It’s intriguing that he opted for four weather-themed tales, a fitting nod to the four seasons.

The first story in this collection, “Snapshot,” introduces characters that evoke both sympathy and terror. Through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Michael Figlione, Hill captures the tone and inquisitiveness of an impending high schooler who’s somewhat nerdy and a bit of a loner. Hill employs the theme of the isolated outsider insightfully to propel Michael’s journey. When the young boy encounters his former babysitter, elderly Shelly Beukes, standing barefoot at his driveway, his reaction is more curious than horrified by her shoeless state. What unfolds is unsettling, from the enigmatic Polaroid Man to his Polaroid knock-off Solarid camera. A nightmare ensues, a chilling scenario that every elderly person dreads – a nightmare that Michael apprehends all too quickly. As the story is neatly tied up with a line from Michael’s distant future, “I don’t want to forget the magic,” Hill leaves readers with a glimmer of hope and lingering questions.

Hill’s second story, “Loaded,” strikingly encapsulates the essence of the contemporary world. Spanning two decades, characters are interconnected by a controversial object of our times – a gun. Not just one firearm, but a series of guns and the havoc they wreak in the hands of those who lack competence or, in some cases, sanity. Initially puzzling, the connection between ten-year-old Aisha and her cousin in a mall shooting nineteen years later becomes clear. A gradual character development unfolds, culminating in a frenzied nightmare in the story’s conclusion. Hill takes on the complex issue of guns and delves into the diverse relationships individuals have with these weapons. He navigates this exploration from an omniscient perspective, leading readers through dark and uncertain territories. The compulsion to witness the outcome and possibly find a glimmer of redemption keeps one engrossed. However, Hill’s own stance on guns remains intriguingly ambiguous, challenging readers to interpret his views.

“Aloft,” the third story, dissuades me from ever lying on grass, gazing at clouds with imaginative fervor. This science-fiction tale serves as a cautionary nod to the adage, “Be careful what you wish for.” Hill once again delves into the loneliness that plagues his protagonist, the nerdy Aubrey. Aubrey’s affection for a co-worker, Harriet, prompts him to partake in a tandem parachute jump with her and two brothers in honor of a deceased friend. What begins as a slow buildup of tension transforms into a whirlwind of events during the jump. Hill deftly explores the impending disaster through Aubrey’s increasing anxiety. In a “Twilight Zone”-esque twist, Aubrey’s life takes a bizarre turn, revealing an unlikely connection with another lonely being. The tale combines amusement, disturbance, and weirdness, leading to an unexpected resolution that prompts readers to reconsider the shapes they perceive in the sky.

The final story, “Rain,” stands as the standout among the quartet. Aptly titled, it takes a satirical jab at a range of subjects, including Trump, cults, terrorists, and Russia. Honeysuckle Speck, a uniquely named character, finds herself entwined in a bizarre scenario. The story unfolds amidst a series of bizarre rainstorms, where crystalline needles rain down, causing havoc and chaos. Hill crafts a diverse cast of characters, from Honeysuckle and her girlfriend to a cult led by Elder Bent, a Russian couple, and more. The rain’s effects expose the vulnerabilities of individuals, revealing intensified behaviors in the face of disaster. Hill’s exploration of the consequences of such an unprecedented event offers a compelling microcosm of society’s potential reactions. The underlying cause of the rain is unveiled gradually, adding an element of mystery to the narrative.

From the outset, I must emphasize that Joe Hill has swiftly become my new preferred author. His narrative prowess, reminiscent of Stephen King’s, is evident in his carefully chosen words. Hill’s stories are tightly woven, his characters are intricately developed, and his imagination knows no bounds. If you’re a fan of King, prepare to be equally enamored by Joe Hill’s work.

Review #2

Strange Weather audiobook

Four outstanding narratives brimming with imagination and a spine-chilling essence. Undoubtedly, the son of his father – a true inheritance. Each story offers just the right dose to satiate those drawn to shorter reads. Embedded within are illuminating revelations, a few of which continue to linger in the mind well after the story’s apparent conclusion (or is it truly concluded?).

Review #3

Audiobook Strange Weather by Joe Hill

An exquisite compilation of short novels that will keep your fingers eagerly flipping the pages. These stories leave behind a trail of enigmatic questions, compelling me to consider returning to page one and embarking on the journey anew. A definite must-read for enthusiasts of the supernatural and horror genres.

Review #4

Audio Strange Weather narrated by Joe Hill

In my opinion, the “stronger” tales are the last two: “Aloft” and “Rain.” The initial two, on the other hand, are lackluster. Has no one noticed the blatant inspiration drawn from themes already explored by his father (Stephen King)? In the first story, “Snapshot,” his inspiration from “Cujo” is evident, and the second tale, “Loaded,” takes cues from “Mr. Mercedes.” I won’t say more, except that this is not a horror book.
