Joe Hill's "Full Throttle" delivers a high-octane collection of thirteen chilling tales that delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche. From the haunting depths of cornfields in the Stephen King collaboration "In the Tall Grass" (the basis for a Netflix film), to a fantastical yet gruesome faun-infested world, Hill masterfully crafts stories of supernatural suspense and profound psychological horror. Readers will encounter a grieving librarian delivering books to the dead, young friends confronting mortality after a plesiosaur discovery, and a faceless trucker entangled with motorcycle outlaws in the titular "Throttle," another powerful collaboration with Stephen King. Featuring previously unpublished works and stories appearing in print for the first time, this anthology is a relentless journey through fear, vulnerability, and the intricate complexities of human nature, cementing Hill's reputation as a master of modern horror.
