Book of the Month: ‘NOS4A2’ BY Joe Hill
If you’ve known Maude Garrett, she’s not the biggest horror fan. However, if there’s a nice mixture of fantasy, she’s all about it. Last year, we read Fairy Tale by Stephen King. And we had such a great discussion about the horror themes reflecting past trauma.
The BOOK OF THE MONTH is NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. In case you didn’t know, Joe Hill is the son of “Horror King” Stephen King. Since I do cheat a bit when reading a chonky book for book club, the first couple of chapters have given me the same feeling when I read The Shining for the first time.
The apple does not fall far from the tree in this case at all. Similar to his father, Hill sets the tone through the atmosphere for his characters and also adds depth by the themes used to explore their past.
If Maude loves an author, we will continue to find books to read that fit our favourite sci-fi/fantasy genres!
