Christmasland
Christmasland | Joe Hill
Kinder, wollt ihr ewig leben? Charlie Manx ist ein sehr, sehr bser Mann mit einem sehr, sehr bsen Auto. Er entfhrt Kinder nach Christmasland, wo ewige Weihnacht herrschen soll. Die Kinder erwartet dort jedoch etwas Schreckliches, und es gibt keinen Weg zurck. Mit seinem Meisterwerk moderner Fantastik entfhrt uns der mehrfach preisgekrnte Bestsellerautor Joe Hill auf einen unvergesslichen Horrortrip. Vicky, fr ihren Vater einfach nur das Gr, hat die geheime Gabe, Dinge zu finden verlorenen Schmuck, verlegte Fotos, Antworten auf unbeantwortbare Fragen. Dazu muss sie sich einfach nur auf ihr Fahrrad schwingen. ber die nahe gelegene alte Holzbrcke gelangt sie dann im Handumdrehen, wohin sie will, an all die meilenweit entfernten Orte, wo sich das Verlorene befindet. Der Kleinen ist klar, dass andere (ihre Eltern!) darber nur unglubig den Kopf schtteln wrden. Sie glaubt es ja selbst nicht richtig. Auch Charlie Manx hat eine spezielle Gabe. Er ist so in Kinder vernarrt, dass er sie gleich dutzendweise kidnappt. ber verborgene Wege bringt er sie in seinem unheimlichen Rolls-Royce nach Christmasland, wo er ewige Weihnacht zu feiern verspricht. Und da Vicky immer wieder rger anzieht, ist es kein Wunder, dass sich ihre Wege und die von Charlie irgendwann einmal kreuzen. Aber sie ist gewitzt genug, dem Hscher zu entkommen. Das ist jetzt Jahre her, und aus dem einzigen Kind, das Charlie je entwischen konnte, ist eine junge Frau geworden, die am liebsten alles vergessen wrde. Nur dass Charlie niemand ist, der etwas vergisst. Eines Tages nimmt er Vicky das Wichtigste in ihrem Leben. Kann sie es wiederfinden? Ein gnadenloser Kampf entbrennt, und Vicky will nur eines: Charlie endgltig vernichten ...

I loved rereading this Christmas-themed horror story as our #snowangels buddy read, and the audiobook narration by Kate Mulgrew was excellent. I especially enjoyed spotting all the Stephen King references. Joe Hill is SK's son, and I'm sure the character Tabitha was a nod to his mother.

Finally giving this one a go, and so glad I chose audio because until I heard the opening credits, I had no idea it was pronounced Nosferatu 🤯
Should be a good listen for a snowy December.

I really enjoyed our #snowangels #wintergames buddy read! This was so divinely creepy and the idea of Christmas music playing in July when you aren‘t expecting to show the wraith is coming is absolutely chilling. Having said that, I found the scary bits more convincing than the human emotional bits, but eh it‘s a horror that was good at being a horror so I can‘t hold it against it too much.

I went to Miracle (Holiday pop-up bar) & had to stop myself from hissing nefariously “we‘re going to Christmasland”
1) Joe Hill says he writes under this name to separate himself from his dad but this is as Stephen King-y as 1 could get. 2) I liked it, happy endings don‘t count til the end, 3) New England AF 5) complicated ladies .. and so creepy

kwmg40 I agree that this novel is very reminiscent of SK‘s books (in all the best ways)! 4mo

I read this for a reading challenge and I liked it mostly. I liked the plot and the unique genuine horror. I did not love all of the characterization, especially the hardened broken single mom and the fat phobia toward her best friend/baby daddy was very cringey. It did have a truly evil bad guy and his minion. So I borderline recommend this if you can look past my previous comments. Definitely recommend the excellent audiobook. 3.5⭐️

I LOVE Kate Mulgrew but why did no one tell her how to say “Haverhill” 😂 #MassachusettsProblems

DaveGreen7777 She pronounced that second “H”, didn‘t she?! Doesn‘t she know it‘s supposed to be Haver-ill”?!? 😂😂😂 4mo
5feet.of.fury @DaveGreen7777 she is very much saying Have-r-Hill 😂 which would be logical every where else. 4mo
kwmg40 I hadn't noticed that, as I wasn't aware of the correct pronunciation, but I love Mulgrew as a narrator otherwise. I used to cringe when hearing Ralph Cosham mispronounce French Canadian names when narrating Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache mysteries, so I can understand how you feel! 4mo
5feet.of.fury @kwmg40 she‘s so good at doing all the voices, really really good. 4mo

Hello and welcome to team #SnowAngels for the 2023 #wintergames 🎄🎄🎄

I‘m so excited to be your captain and to read a lot and be festive this December! Because I‘m a big horror fan and I know some people like a break from traditionally Christmassy stuff, for our team reads we‘ve got an old school festive rom com and some winter horror which I hope covers a lot of tastes! I haven‘t read either yet so do check trigger warnings if you‘re into that

Emilymdxn You can choose either book for the 50 buddy read points! And our team movie is, objectively, the greatest Christmas movie of all time. Give me a comment or tag me if you have any questions or if you want to share your festive winter games excitement! 4mo

Mehso-so

Ah, the age old struggle, to find a horror novel that will deliver chills and a smidgen of hope after battling the darkness vs one that mostly just repels and depresses you. This one had its moments, particularly building emotional relationships, but considering the length - the pacing - the non-awful bits were too few and far between. Probably best to consider this not my type of horror, even with the unique fantastical elements.

I had to bail on this one. I read the physical book back in 2018 and I enjoyed it. I don‘t know if it‘s the narrator or I just can‘t get into it right now. I‘m going to try to plug the rest of the way through my Chris Carter books.

“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.‘”

Came for Kate Mulgrew‘s narration, stayed for the story. This was gripping, I wanted to just keep listening and altogether I finished it pretty quick. The audio was fire. I now wanna watch the series too!
Some parts were fairly graphic, and I did fast forward one particular scene. People who have to watch out for triggers might wanna skip this one, or at least look at its page on The Storygraph.

Written by Joe Hill, Nos4A2 is a long novel, but don‘t let it intimidate you! Joe Hill manages to weave a good wintery (and holiday read🎄 ) tale as we follow protagonist Victoria McQueen, Vic and the chilling villain Charlie Manx. I don‘t really want to give much away, but let‘s just say Joe Hill manages to fill this book with all things holiday and horror, helping it fit perfectly well into the #Wintery prompt.

I made it over halfway through and might finish this sometime. It is scary and generally well written. The problem is that there are a lot of near escapes where the victim (boy kidnapped by monster) almost gets away but doesn't quite, or where the protagonist (boy's mom, Vic) almost has a win, and that constant suspense and failure is a bit fatiguing on the reader. I put it down when Vic is lured in by one of the bad guys at a time when she ⏬

LitStephanie should be at her most wary, and she also just defies common safety sense for any woman by going alone into a complete stranger's house. It felt like this unbelievable scene was only there because the author wanted to throw yet another dramatic wrench in her plans. 1y

This was crazy! I loved it. Charlie Manx is wild, Christmasland is wild, and the images in my head of those poor terrifying children were wild too. I wonder if the TV show is any good? This one played out like a movie super well in my head. A fun read.

I listened to about half of this in audio, narrated by the wonderful Kate Mulgrew. There is about 10 minutes at the end of Joe Hill talking and I loved this as much/more than the actual story.

Reggie I got to see him in person before the pandemic happened and yes to listening him talk. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about writing it was hard not to like him. 2y
intothehallofbooks @Reggie Very cool that you got to see him!! I hope I can one day. I was struck particularly listening to him compliment Kate Mulgrew for narrating so many of his audiobooks so well, and he was so kind about both of his parents for being good parents and good authors. 2y
TheLudicReader I watched the first episode of the series, but stopped because I own the book and I would really rather read that first. Your review has made me want to get to it sooner rather than later. 2y

Seekingtardis @KathyWheeler are his other books creepy like this or are they just straight suspense? 2y
KathyWheeler @Seekingtardis he‘s generally got something creepy going on. Just in case you aren‘t aware, he‘s Stephen King‘s son, and I find they both have about the same amount of creepiness in their work. Heart-Shaped Box is one many people like — the main character buys a ghost on the internet. Horns and Fireman are also good. Fireman is Hill‘s entry into the post-apocalyptic genre. 2y
Seekingtardis @KathyWheeler I did know he was his son, but that‘s all I knew lol. Thanks for adding to my tbr 😂😂 2y

My Jack Skellington Christmas town has been tainted by zombie-children and disturbing men.
I went book before show and so glad I did. Books are always better. There are many elements, encompassing a lot of what we love about horror. The characters are easy to attach to, and I encountered a lot of “whaaaat?“ moments, in a good way.
Overall good book. Recommend.

I'm glad I re-read NOS4R2, as it turned into my only 5 start book.

This was the October pick for the Sword and Laser podcast. I was glad to have the push to pick it up after purchasing the hardcover years ago. The story is not for sensitive readers! Child murder, domestic abuse, animal abuse - it‘s full of all the violent horrors. I read it for the complex characters and their challenges. Hill includes many references to his father‘s books, which was delightful. I also listened to the audio, which is stunning.

jessinikkip I had someone who doesnt like Stephen King ask if they'd like Joe Hill. I had to be like "well he learned to write from one of them and it wasnt his mama!" The two are very similar in style and I love it 2y
