1. SNAPSHOT - A Polaroid camera, an imaginative & talented tinkering fat kid, an accomplished but unavaiable mother, a beloved neighbor & child sitter. The 1980's nostalgia is spectacular, the "horror" almost a non sequitur, and the profanity gratuitous but well pulled off by Wil Wheaton's 5star performance of this 3star story.

After reading gr friend Walter's splendid sunny skies review of the audiobook, I decided to try Joe Hill, yet again, but this time as a listen of 4 short stories instead of a print read, in hopes of a favourable effect (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).
Currently listening to the first story, SNAPSHOT, performed by Wil Wheaton.
Bonus: With a hardcover page count of 432pgs it's a qualified entry for the LBC ♡٩(^ᗜ^ )و .

Well, nobody is ever taking a Polaroid picture of me again after listening to this story! 😂📸 Have a great time with the rest of the book, Valerie!

Thanks Walter! I Ioved SNAPSHOT, more for Wil Wheaton's lively performance than for the quality of the story itself. If I'd read the print version I likely would have just thought it was "meh". The audiobook is the way to go for this 4 story collection.(Beware: I was surprised to find that Polaroid Instamatic cameras, "in working order", and the film packs can be found at very reasonable prices on ebay 😏📸💥🖼️!)
