Within the pages of "Full Throttle," Joe Hill invites readers to venture into the shadowy corners of the human psyche, where the ordinary morphs into the extraordinary, and the line between the mundane and the fantastical blurs. This collection of thirteen stories weaves a tapestry of terror, wonder, and introspection, exploring themes of loss, redemption, and the often terrifying consequences of our choices. From the eerie allure of a hidden door that promises childhood wonders but delivers unimaginable horror, to the poignant journey of a librarian who brings the joy of books to the dead, Hill masterfully crafts narratives that chill the spine while touching the heart. In tales like "Faun," where hunters find themselves prey in a twisted fairy tale world, and "By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain," where the discovery of a prehistoric creature forces a confrontation with mortality, Hill showcases his ability to blend the fantastical with the deeply human. Meanwhile, "Throttle," a high-octane collaboration with Stephen King, pits a group of bikers against a relentless trucker in the Nevada desert, each story in the collection is a gateway to the sublime and the terrifying. "Full Throttle" accelerates through the spectrum of human emotion, delivering readers to the precipice of fear and back again, offering a journey as haunting as it is unforgettable.

I love these stories. - Stephen King
It’s quite common to enter a library and find yourself in conversation with the dead. The best minds of generations long gone crowd every bookshelf. They wait there to be noticed, to be addressed, and to reply in turn. In the library the dead meet the living on collegial terms as a matter of course, every day.
— Joe Hill, Full Throttle
