oe Hill is responsible for some fantastic horror stories, like his take on vampire mythology NOS4A2 and last year’s apocalyptic The Fireman. Hill is back with a new book, but with a twist. Strange Weather contains four short novels: “Snapshot”, about a teenager who’s threatened with a Polaroid camera that erases memories, “Aloft,” about a parachutist who finds himself stranded on a strand and solid cloud, “Rain,” which follows a apocalyptic rainstorm of sharp crystals that spreads to the rest of the country, and “Loaded,” about a mall security guard who becomes a hero after he stops a shooting, only to unravel as his story does. The book earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, which says that if you’re not already a fan of Hill’s, “this is the book to turn you into one.”
