Summary
Four short novels from the author of The Fireman and Horns, ranging from creepy horror to powerful explorations of our society.
One autumnal day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails, splinters of bright crystal that tear apart anyone who isn't safely under cover. 'Rain' explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as clouds of nails spread out across the country and the world. Amidst the chaos, a girl studying law enforcement takes it upon herself to resolve a series of almost trivial mysteries...apparently harmless puzzles that turn out to have lethal answers.
In 'Loaded', a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun movement. Under the hot glare of the spotlights, though, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it....
'Snapshot, 1988' tells the story of a kid in Silicon Valley who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician, a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid that can steal memories....
And in 'Aloft', a young man takes to the skies to experience parachuting for the first time...and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero's island of roiling vapour that seems animated by a mind of its own.
Read by Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Dennis Boutsikaris and Stephen Lang.

An Unusual Storm
Really enjoyed the stories overall but was a bit mystified with Aloft to start with.

Shocking
I am still halfway through, but I cannot help myself from rating this. The first two short stories are amazingly good.
There isn't a large cohesion between the stories apart from the fact that they make you think and feel. Do not miss.

A Return To Form for Joe Hill....
I didn't like The Fireman, it was a good idea, that started well, but eventally was ruined by being a bloated, saccharine mess. These four short novels are far tighter and tense affairs. Like lots of good genre fiction the stories hold a mirror up to contemporary situations, especially the current political climate in America. Each story is a great, for their own reasons, and the superb narrations really add to a great audio experience.

Half good. Half dreadful.
Kate Mulgrew is the best thing about this audiobook. 2 of the stories were excellent (snapshot and rain) the other 2 just terrible.
Also found the books to be overly political. Fiction to me is meant to be an escape from the real world not a place to have the authors political beleifs thrust upon me in every chapter.

Strange Weather by Joe King
Definitely Joe's best book so far. characters were more engaging. He is getting there. 20 words more for a review but I was done in the 1st sentence.

Excellent Weather
Four supreme novellas from Joe Hill, Strange Weather is a superb listen. The narrators are all amazing, each perfectly suited to the stories. With each publication, Joe Hill cements his status as a literary tour de force, and I certainly look forward to his next release! Utterly amazing.

This book will affect you
A book that takes you to new horizons of wonder, awe and outrage... ‘Loaded’ especially is arresting and will give an emotional reaction, depending on your political stance... powerfully written and expertly crafted. The devil is in the detail of these stories and Hill laces detail into each paragraph, so expertly, that when the magic hits the page, it is never questioned.
The narrators were flawless... apart from Will Wheaton’s terrible SA accent, which marred the first novella, whenever it raised its ugly head... but the other narrators were brilliant - Kate Mulgrew, as always was sublime!
