Synopsis

En estos magistrales relatos (dos coescritos con Stephen King), Joe Hill disecciona conflictos muy humanos en escenarios fantasmagoricos. Una puerta que da a un mundo prodigioso y lleno de maravillas se torna sangrienta cuando la atraviesa un grupo de cazadores. Dos hermanos se adentran en un laberintico campo de hierba alta para ayudar a un nino que pide auxilio entre la maleza. Un camionero se ve envuelto en una sofocante persecucion por el desierto de Nevada. Cuatro adolescentes suben a un antiguo carrusel donde cada vuelta tiene consecuencias espeluznantes. Un bibliotecario se pone al volante para llevar lecturas a los muertos. Dos amigos descubren el cadaver de un plesiosaurio en la orilla de un lago, un hallazgo que les fuerza a enfrentarse a la idea de su propia mortalidad... y a otros horrores que acechan en las profundidades acuaticas. A tumba abierta es una odisea oscura por las complejidades de la condicion humana, una danza macabra a la que se ven arrastrados varios personajes muy diferentes y en la que, de manera hipnotica e inquietante, acaban revelando atormentados secretos, fantasias y, sobre todo, sus miedos mas profundos. En 2019, Netflix estreno una pelicula basada en «En la hierba alta» y HBO esta preparando la adaptacion de «Acelera».

About Joe Hill

Born in 1972 to authors Tabitha (nee Spruce) and Stephen King, Joseph Hillstrom King grew up in the state of Maine along with his younger brother, (also a writer) Owen King.

At age 9, Joe appeared in the 1982 film Creepshow, which was written by his famous father. In 1997 he chose to use an abbreviated form of his given name (a reference to executed labor leader Joe Hill, for whom he was named), out of a desire to succeed based solely on his own merits rather than as the son of Stephen King, one of the world's best-selling and most-recognized living novelists. Hill's debut, Heart-Shaped Box, won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. His second, Horns, was made into a film Freakfest starring Daniel Radcliffe. His other novels include NOS4A2, and his #1 New York Times Best-Seller, The Fireman.

Hill currently lives in New Hampshire with a corgi named McMurtry after a certain beloved writer of cowboy tales.

Goodreads review by Jon on October 04, 2023

I actually listened to this in my car! Talk about paranoia! Actually started to look in my rearview mirror to make sure there were no trucks behind me. Most of us spend so much time in our cars; at one point in my life I think I was in my car more than I was at home. So stories that deal with violen......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on February 27, 2017

Kings of suspense joined together with a classic tale and a new tale of anger on the asphalt. These two novellas were a nice little palette cleansing getaway. First, there was Matheson's Duel, which was the inspiration for the classic Spielberg movie. Let's just say, I was listening to this on the h......more

A two for one on spooky season short stories. I’ve read duel before and seen the movie, but the book was a different experience. The writing style was genius, and I enjoyed every page I turned.......more

Goodreads review by Noah on October 27, 2017

Stories like these always make me happy. I remember seeing Spielberg's adaptation of Duel back when I was a little boy in the late 80s, and it definitely made a great first impression on me. In this two-piece offering, the iconic Stephen King teams up with his son Joe (Hill) for a short but sweet tr......more
