Critics Review
-
The poet laureate of everyday terrors returns with a baker's dozen of deliciously sinister tales. . . . Miniature masterworks of modern horror, proving that life is hard, weird, and always fatal
Kirkus (starred review)
-
In his new collection of short stories, Joe Hill shows how insanely good he is at shocking, terrible, whoa, cover-your-mouth-and-gasp endings . . . Seamless and finely crafted work
New York Times Book Review

This collection cements Hill's reputation as a versatile master of scares both subtle and shocking
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
-
Full Throttle is a great collection and just more proof that Hill is one of the great storytellers of the early 21st century. Highly recommended

CrimeReads
-
Hill calls to mind Harlan Ellison at his absolute best, with a penchant for cruel characters learning hard truths
San Francisco Chronicle
-
I found this to be an incredibly strong collection. While I think that Full Throttle would be worth purchasing for "Late Returns" alone, there are a host of great stories here. And they're varied enough that there's something here for just about everyone
