Strange Weather by Joe Hill.
I must admit I am a sucker for short story collections, especially when it comes to horror. each year I go through these you’ll no doubt see at least one short story collection of horror on my list.
These are more “shorter” stories than they are short stories but they are excellent. There is Snapshot for example which is the story of a man in Silicon Valley is under threat by “The Phoenician”. This is a thug who has an instant camera which can erase memories Although I felt the concept of that one was great but the execution not as good.
Loaded was my personal favourite in terms of how disturbing it was. It’s about a mass shooting being stopped by a mall security guard. The guard is an instant hero for the gun rights groups, however then his story unravels. A real chilling one.
Rain was also a good one. It takes place in Boulder, Colorado where an apocalyptic event occurs with nails dropping from the sky shredding anyone they hit. Finally Aloft where a man goes for a parachute jump and ends up a castaway on a cloud.
Joe Hill is one messed up dude and I loved the heck out of these!
