It's publication day, and we have a frighteningly good book for you to get your hands on. Strap yourselves in, take a deep breath, and then get reading one of the scariest books you'll experience this side of Halloween!   Full Throttle, Joe Hill  In this masterful collection of short fiction, Joe Hill  dissects timeless human struggles in thirteen relentless tales of  supernatural suspense, including "In The Tall Grass," one of two stories  co-written with Stephen King, basis for the terrifying feature film  from Netflix. A little door that opens to a world of  fairy tale wonders becomes the blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in "Faun." A grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique Bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in "Late Returns." In "By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain," two young friends stumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water's edge, a discovery that forces them to confront the inescapable truth of their  own mortality . . . and other horrors that lurk in the water's shivery depths. And tension shimmers in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in "Throttle," co-written with Stephen King. Featuring two previously unpublished stories, and a bevy of shocking chillers, Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human  psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears. Praise for Joe Hill: ‘One of the most assured and confident new voices in horror and dark fantasy to emerge in recent years’ Publishers Weekly ‘If you haven't yet grabbed a copy of Joe Hill's The Fireman, you need to. Original and gripping, a page-turner’ [On The Fireman] George R. R. Martin ‘Take the ideas, characters, and tone of Station Eleven (2014) and add a large helping of the action, villains, and unrelenting menace from Doctor Sleep (2013) and you have The Fireman, an excellent example of the very best that genre fiction has to offer readers today’ [On The Fireman] Booklist ‘Every decade must have a great story of how we fail, how our society comes apart. Joe Hill has just written ours - which makes us all refugees seeking a safe haven in the wreckage of a world made brutal and hostile. Ominously superb’ [On The Fireman] Nick Harkaway Full Throttle is available to buy now in hardback, paperback, eBook and audio download. Get your copy here!
