It's hard to write a review for this. Each story was so much it's own entity that to lump them into a single phrase seems limiting. So.. The first story the Phoenician was my favorite, the implications of this story of the 80's are far reaching. I'm just glad that's over. Creeeeeepy. The second story was difficult to stomach, the idea coming off of the elementary school shooting in Connecticut, it's no wonder. I'll wholeheartedly admit that I was unable to stomach much of this story, and the ending left much to be desired. The third, poor Aubrey, was so so cool. If I were to revisit any of these stories at a later date it would probably be this one. Aubrey with his grief, his cloud, and his girl just out of reach. Time to move on. Finally, Honeysuckle Speck, hehe, a heroin if I ever met one. Her journey, her righteousness, her absolute desire to set things right or met out justice, is admirable. I would definitely count her among my friends. Overall, I really enjoyed this collection and will with absolute certainty read more from Joe Hill.
