20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill (deluxe anniversary edition)
A special trade paperback deluxe collector’s edition featuring sprayed edges and a new Afterword by the author celebrating the 20th anniversary of Joe Hill’s award-winning story collection, featuring “The Black Phone,” basis for the major motion picture from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions starring Ethan Hawke.
Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945.
Francis was human once, but now he’s an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing.
John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead.
Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of ’77, when his younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds.
The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . .
