2020 Audie Awards® WINNER - Short Stories/Collections


The number one New York Times best-selling author of The Fireman and Strange Weather returns with a dark and ingenious collection of 13 compelling short stories that showcase his ability to “push genre conventions to new extremes” (New York Times Book Review), performed by a stunning multi-cast featuring Zachary Quinto, Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Neil Gaiman, Ashleigh Cummings, Joe Hill, Laysla De Oliveira, Nate Corddry, Connor Jessup, Stephen Lang, and George Guidall.

In this masterful collection of short fiction, Joe Hill dissects timeless human struggles in 13 relentless tales of supernatural suspense, including “In The Tall Grass”, one of two stories cowritten with Stephen King, basis for the terrifying feature film from Netflix.

A little door that opens to a world of fairy-tale wonders becomes the blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in “Faun”. A grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in “Late Returns”. In “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain”, two young friends stumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water’s edge, a discovery that forces them to confront the inescapable truth of their own mortality...and other horrors that lurk in the water’s shivery depths. And tension shimmers in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in “Throttle”, cowritten with Stephen King.

Featuring two previously unpublished stories and a brace of shocking chillers, Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears and demonstrates this exceptional talent at his very best.

Good Collection of Stories

Joe Hill has a very subtle way of drawing the atmosphere out of a story and placing the listener into it. I prefer his solo efforts in this collection as opposed to the co-authored pieces as they better showcase that talent.

The voice actors are very good, but my goodness I had no idea Kate Mulgrew was such a talented narrator. I'm going to have to watch for more audio performances from her.

A fine mix of unease.

Percent matchup between stories and narrators. Really liked full throttle, faun, wolverton station and dark carousel.

It was good until I was half way through the audiobook and realized the rest of the stories didn’t download. I tried to delete it and download again but got the same deal which sucks. Maybe I should’ve just purchased the book instead

Pretty good but I only got half a book
