Críticas:

"Quite simply the best horror writer of our generation, Joe Hill's masterful storytelling is on full display in NOS4A2. It is by turns terrifying and hilarious, horrifying and full of heart, and relentlessly compelling."--Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet on NOS4A2

"[A] lovely, earnest collection of short fiction."--Village Voice

"[A] new take on the fantasy-horror genre...Highly recommended."--The Sun Herald (Sydney, Australia)

"[An] inventive collection . . . brave and astute."--New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)

"NOS4A2 is a brilliant exploration of classic and modern monsters and dark fantasties, all cut up, restitched and retooled...With this novel, riveting from beginning to end, Joe Hill has become a master of his craft."--Publishers Weekly on NOS4A2

"Hill is so skillful that we don't know till the very end whether he'll get away with it. . . Hill's story is quite original and, for horror fans of a certain ironic bent, it's an unqualified delight."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on NOS4A2

"NOS4A2 will pull you in from the first pages, and draw you away from your other responsibilities."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Read it with the lights on and your children locked in a closet."--BookRiot.com on NOS4A2

"Hill's well-stocked bag of narrative tricks keeps the pages moving at a steady clip, and his characters are sufficiently melodramatic to make the book's scale feel both intimate and operatic. In fact, if you're an impressionable reader, stick to reading 'NOS4A2' during the day. "--Richmond Times-Dispatch on NOS4A2

"[Hill's] sentences crackle with wit and understated craftsmanship - the kind so skillful it is only visible if you're paying attention."--The Globe and Mail on NOS4A2

Reseña del editor:

NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.

Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.

Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”
 
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.

Exclusive to the print editions of NOS4A2 are more than 15 illustrations by award-winning Locke & Key artist Gabriel Rodríguez.
