NOS4R2 by Joe Hill. Short but sweet review.
Source: Purchased copy.
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…
Highly imaginative and taut horror tale, with an interesting twist on vampirism and some stunningly well drawn characters. A great deal of edge of the seat action and such remarkable writing that it all feels way too real. So real in fact that I genuinely had nightmares, especially because I have young children. Shiver. Absolutely superb. Not a lot else to say really. When you have a book this good you don’t want to spoil it with too many telling words…
A unique voice but the apple sure didnt fall far from the tree…
Happy Reading Folks!
