The Black Phone 2 [Movie Tie-in]

Joe Hill’s award-winning story collection, originally published as 20th Century Ghosts, featuring “The Black Phone;” the basis for two major motion pictures (The Black Phone and Black Phone 2) from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, which rings at night with calls from the dead. Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945. Francis was human once, but now he’s an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of ’77; when his younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds. The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . . "[An] inventive collection . . . brave and astute." — New York Times Book Review
