This week on The Bookshelf, author Joe Hill of Exeter, N.H. joins Peter Biello in studio. Hill's new book, Strange Weather , is a collection of four short novels. In one, the sky rains needles that rip to pieces anyone unlucky enough to be outside. In another, a skydiver gets stuck on a cloud. And in a story without any supernatural connection, people with easy access to guns use them to devastating effect. Joe Hill is the author of many works, including the novels Horns , NOS4A2 , and The Fireman . Listen to the interview below and read Joe Hill's top five reading recommendations. The Bookshelf is New Hampshire Public Radio's series on authors and books with ties to the Granite State.
