The Fireman by Joe Hill

3.0

After listening to Kate Mulgrew's performance of NOS4A2, I had to borrow this audiobook from the library as well, and her reading did not disappoint. Hill's writing is just lovely, exquisitely crafted and poetic even as he describes scenes of horrific carnage, and he uses this dissonance to great effect. Engaging characters but after such a lengthy, gripping read the ending felt a bit flat.
