Strange Weather is a collection of four short novels all linked by, unsurprisingly, strange and cataclysmic weather. Each novel is distinct and showcases Hill's restrained yet vivid style which takes everyday events and makes them bitingly, acerbically macabre or blindingly beautiful, often switching from one sentence to the next. As Hill himself says ''the beauty of the world and the horror of the world were twined together'', never is this truer than in Strange Weather where moments of abject horror are coupled with raw beauty.
Strange Weather is first and foremost an easy entertaining read, the length of the novels allows the reader to race along at breakneck speed before moving onto another thrilling yarn. This frenetic pace never sacrifices style or substance, the characters are living, breathing embodiments of evil and grace, fully realised by Hill in stories which burn brightly and vanish, giving credence to the notion that it's better to burn out than to fade away. Hill's writing is electrifyingly vivid and voluptuous; he weaves a fever dream around the reader, cradled helplessly in his macabre embrace, and whispers promises of terror and delight.
For those of you interested in reading more by Joe Hill (and I would highly recommend it), you could try [[The Fireman by Joe Hill|The Fireman]] or [[NOS-4R2 by Joe Hill|NOS-4R2]]. We can also recommend [[Snowblind by Christopher Golden]].
