Pop Art Audiobook Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Horns comes this e-short story–from Joe Hill’s award-winning collection 20th Century Ghosts.
Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She’s also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .
Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn’t easy to make friends when you’re the only inflatable boy in town. . . .
Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he’s an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .
John Finney is locked in a basement that’s stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

UPDATE: 04/02/15I have just found out that this short story was actually made into a very short movie as well! It's only fifteen minutes long and it is free on youtube right now! I know what I'm watching on my dinner hour! :-DIf you want to check it out, you can find it on this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK8Is...I really enjoyed this short story so I'm looking forward to this little movie! If you're interested in my thoughts then you can find my original review below.When I started reading this I thought it was going to be awful! Like some terrible porn or something. A boy and his inflatable friend!!!The thing is bough, this is actually a really good story about friendship and life in general. It does start to pull on the old heart strings a little bit towards the end.It's a short story, only takes maybe half an hour to read but it's definitely worth checking out.All reviews can be found at http://lennonslair.blogspot.co.uk

I would have to say if you are going to read one short story in the collection of 20th Century Ghosts then Pop Art should be it. Not really a horror story at all, but more of a tragic fantasy about two best friends growing up together. Both of their lives aren't perfect, yet their friendship is extremely believable and horrifyingly heart warming. Who would of every thought a story about a child born with a genetic inflatable condition could become a masterpiece.Listen well to the other readers who are praising Pop Art for it's originality and heart warming tenderness. Because it deserves every bit of compliment and five star review it received so far. In case you couldn't tell from my massive amounts of gushing and praising I give Pop Art a much deserved perfect score of five out five stars. If you are a fan of Joe Hill's work do yourself a favor and buy this on your kindle right now. You owe it to yourself to have this story be a part of your life.

I realize that I've already rated the collection that this short story comes from, but I have to single this one out. EVERYONE should read this story. It is undoubtedly the best short story I ever read. Before I read "Pop Art" my 3 favs were "Jefty is Five", "Casting the Runes" and "The Open Window" but now "Pop Art" is #1 with no competitors...as close to perfect as a short story can get. Please read this.

Best short story I have ever read. I only wish Hill would've written more fantasy novels. I haven't read any of his horror yet, but I've been on a big sci-fi/fantasy kick. WAAAAAAAAANT! (more)
