Critic Reviews

The poet laureate of everyday terrors returns with a baker's dozen of deliciously sinister tales. . . . Miniature masterworks of modern horror, proving that life is hard, weird, and always fatal
In his new collection of short stories, Joe Hill shows how insanely good he is at shocking, terrible, whoa, cover-your-mouth-and-gasp endings . . . Seamless and finely crafted work
This collection cements Hill's reputation as a versatile master of scares both subtle and shocking
Full Throttle is a great collection and just more proof that Hill is one of the great storytellers of the early 21st century. Highly recommended
This new collection of short fiction by acclaimed horror and suspense writer Joe Hill proves that Hill can do it all
Hill calls to mind Harlan Ellison at his absolute best, with a penchant for cruel characters learning hard truths
I found this to be an incredibly strong collection. While I think that Full Throttle would be worth purchasing for "Late Returns" alone, there are a host of great stories here. And they're varied enough that there's something here for just about everyone

Not as good as 20th century ghosts, but pretty good over all. I did find Joe's cartoon caricature portrayals of conservatives to be laughable, and it was recurring throughout the book. If Joe ever met a conservative in real life I don't think he would even realise, he seems to expect them to be cartoon villians. Utterly laughable. Despite this, I found the book to be enjoyable, he tells some good stories. Looking forward to the next collection (if he keeps politics out of it).

I love short stories and these are great - I’ve become a real fan of Joe Hill books. All stories in this book are good - but there were some that I absolutely loved. The Narrators are really excellent. If you enjoy short stories - I can highly recommend this one.

I really enjoyed Full Throttle...Audiobooks are a movie for my mind I have insomnia so having these stories read to me is awesome

I realized Stephen King couldn't live forever while reading The Outsider. Then I found his son Joe Hill, and now it worries me less to think I might outlive his Father. I have another favourite author, now. They are hardly interchangeable, but the flavour is similar enough to give me pleasant shudders of recognition. Thank you to the whole talented bunch of the King family. I'll be appreciating you until my last breath.

I'm so glad I found you

A good collection of stories, some average ones but you get that with collections. Narrators were excellent. Well worth a listen.
