20th Century Ghosts


I am currently reading a collection of short stories from acclaimed artist, Joe Hill, entitled 20th Century Ghosts. I am about half way through and I felt as though I could accurately explain how great this collection is and how any book lover should check it out.

First off, if you don't know who Joe Hill is, then you have been living under a rock. Not only is he the author of one of the best comic series (Locke and Key), but he is also the son of one of the greatest authors to ever live, Mr. Steven King.

For any comic fans out there who may have recently read "The Cape" from IDW comics, which was recently reviewed by none other than yours truly, the original story is featured in this book and is just as great as the comic, if not better.

So far, my favorite story that is featured is entitled Pop Art, and it is one of the most touching, moving, most spectacular stories I have ever read. It is a story of a strange kid who has a medical disorder that makes him develop like something that is similar to a blow up doll. When he transfers to a new school he meets the strange outsider of the class, and from their differences, blooms an uncanny friendship.

If you want to read a good piece of literature than definitely pick up 20th Century Ghosts by Mr. Joe Hill. It will not only provide you with an educational, fun, interesting way to pass time, you may even feel scared...
