CILIPS COVID-19 Book Reviews – Full Throttle Reviewer name: Lisa Ryan Book title: Full Throttle Author name: Joe Hill Genre: Horror Overall Rating: Excellent Brief summary: This is a book of short stories written by Joe Hill (Son of Stephen King), a couple of the stories are even co-written with his father. A gang of bikers are decimated by a lone truck driver seeking revenge, a hairy train ride in a train full of wolves dressed as humans, a hunting story with twists: these are just a few of the stories in this book. A journey which can be read all at once or just a story here and there. All of the stories are superbly written and could easily be made into movies (In The Tall Grass has already been made into a Netflix movie). What you liked: I liked how the stories popped visually into my mind from page one. These stories could all be made into movies. Well written, scary, thought provoking, a little bit different. I read it after a particularly long book so this was a little slice of refreshment after something much heavier. Anything you didn’t like: There wasn't more of them. I have read everything by Joe Hill and have never been disappointed. Even his graphic novels are amazing. Who should read this book?: Horror fans, Stephen King fans, anyone who struggles to read a whole book, anyone wanting to try something different. Any additional comments?: Everyone should try Joe Hill. My favourite so far is NOS4A2 and also his Locke and Key graphic novels which have also been made into a tv series on Netflix. .

Mora ii ABSTRACT The Third Island is a novella about a Puerto Rican woman of Spanish descent who faces her biggest fear—death. Death comes in many forms and for Laura Maria De La Esperanza Castel, it comes in the form of a man with whom she thinks she is in love. Vacationing on an island in the Bahamas, novelist Laura Castel finds that the only way to survive is to overcome her fear and reject being controlled by the figure who is trying to take her. She overcomes many obstacles and is taught about self-sufficiency, the history of repression of minorities groups or of the misunderstood, and the importance of protecting those who are not able to protect themselves.
