Four short novels from Joe Hill. In 'Rain' the clouds open up in a downpour of nails. In 'Loaded' a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun movement. 'Snapshot, 1988' tells the story of a kid who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician, a tattooed thug who can steal memories. 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.
