Black Phone and other stories

Black Phone and other stories

An abandoned typewriter whose owner died suddenly. A beautiful girl waiting in the darkness of the cinema, kissing like a divine Marilyn and knowing everything about movies and death. An inflatable kid who gets bullied by his classmates. Or the broken black phone in the basement, where a masked kidnapper locked young John Finney in, like half a dozen boys before him. All of their stories are linked by one man - Joe Hill, son of the famous horror author Stephen King, who has followed in his father's footsteps and brings the fear of the known and the unsuspected to life in a select anthology of disturbing tales. The title story, The Black Telephone, was successfully adapted into a film in 2021, starring Ethan Hawke. "Best New Horror Story won the British Fantasy Award for Best Short Story in 2006." In addition to Black Telephone, the audiobook also includes the author's other shorter works - 20th Century Ghost, Scheherazade's Typewriter, Best New Horror, and Pop Art.
