Joe Hill is one of my favorite authors and I have been wanting to read some of his shorter stories. With The Black Phone becoming a movie, my friend and I decided to snag 20th Century Ghosts and have a listen.

First, the narrator is fantastic which made for a hard to put down audiobook. I usually don't want to keep listening to books but David LeDoux is great.

I don't usually read short stories either, but there is something about the weird and scary that make them fun for me. Joe Hill is great. He can spin a tale whether it's creepy, eerie, spooky or just down right scary. This is a great mix of all that.

Out of all the stories, my favorite is The Button Boy. Just woah. Haha I did also enjoy The Black Phone and can't wait to see that on film.

If you're looking for a little strange and sometimes spooky, this is a great one. The music also keeps the eerie factor alive between chapters. Perfect one for Spooktober.
