What an amazing story teller Joe Hill is. It's not very good to compare him with his father (Which is Stephen King) but when I started to read this, unconsciously I was comparing both of them. But honestly, after few chapters it's all gone and uniqueness of his writing pretty visible.
In this story we see Victoria McQueen has a ability to find lost things by using her cover bridge.
And this ability is actually become her curse of life. At teenage when she was distributed for her
mom and dad's separation she rode her bike for trouble and her cover bridge take her to Charlie Manx's slaidge house. Manx has his own ability. He drove a classic Rolls Royce wraith and abduct children to a place called Christmas land, where those kids become different (say evil). Like a vampire Manx suck them and gain his lifeline. Victoria McQueen not only escaped but able to comprehend him to law.
Now after 12 years when vic has a son, Charlie Manx has returns to take her son and avenge her.
How will she save her son and bring her back from Christmasland?
All character development is just fantastic. Victoria McQueen is one bad ass women who struggling
her life from very childhood but she is unbreakable. Lou is a sweetheart who always stood by her
at any cost. The character of Maggie touch me the most. Bing the gas mask man, the most creepy
psychopath ever read. And last but not the least Charlie Manx the main villain is the notorious
and evil man who can gives you a nightmare. A big thumbs up to this book which have fantasy,
tragedy, love and horror altogether.
