Joe Hill, Author

[CyberGhostface]

I have never read a Joe Hill.... is he a good writer? Or is he collected more so because of King? Thanks for your input guys!

IMO he's a great writer. I checked him out because he was King's son but I wouldn't have kept reading his stuff if he wasn't good.

[Ari_Racing]

It's funny that Joe Hill considers himself first a comic book writer.

[Joe315]

I picked up Horns not knowing who he was. I enjoyed it quiet a bit and was surprised to find out he was Kings son.

[mikeC]

I think he is an extremely entertaining writer. Nos4R2 was one of the best books I've read in a long long time.
I tried HSB and thought it was excellent but Locke and Key is what made me forget that he was a King and just enjoy the stories.

[Br!an]

I haven't read everything he's written. I have liked everything I've read. He can be very disturbing when he wants.

He is a very good writer and a likable guy.

His books are undoubtedly more collectible because of his relationship to his father, if for no other reason than that more people are aware of him.

I would be a fan regardless.

Concerning Locke & Key Alpha #2...

I must have missed something here. How did he get Bode a new body?

[mikeC]

Concerning Locke & Key Alpha #2...

I must have missed something here. How did he get Bode a new body?

Good question. No clue.
Alpha and Omega should have never been split up and delayed so much. The extra covers are neat-o but the story suffered.

Wraith:
Manx doesn't need to be raped in the mouth to be evil. Kind of lame.

[CyberGhostface]

Wraith:

I usually don't have a problem giving villains traumatic backstories but the whole bit with Manx's childhood wasn't included in the Wraith novella, and it still did a good job fleshing out his motivations and character. So yeah IMO that was unnecessary.

[ELazansky]

Anyone buy one of those IDW Limited Locke and Key: Head Games sets? Looks like they still have them for sale and I was curious if anyone splurged.

[mikeC]

A Kindle version of Wolverton Station will be released on Jan 7th.

I wish there were audio versions of his single stories like the ones he writes with Steve.

I didn't. I'd be interested in seeing someone's photos though.

[chrise]

I'm considering letting go of my collection of Joe's "early" works but have no idea where the prices are.
Does anyone have any clue?
I've collected him from the start, so I have all the editions of 20th Century and HSB (limited and lettered) along with the lettereds of Volluntary Comittal/Pop Art/Thumbprint.
I really haven't been following them but also know they don't come up often, could be hard to judge.
Thanks so much!

[CyberGhostface]

On eBay at least the Sub press version of Heart-Shaped Box is being sold from anywhere from $125 to $700. Likewise with the limited for 20th Century Ghosts. So you could probably get good prices for your collection.

Thanks cyber!
That's good to hear. Have you seen the prices on any lettereds?
Thanks.

[cit74]

Just received the special deluxe slipcase of the final issue of Locke & Key today - the one with the 7 different regular covers. Pretty nice size - still in shrink wrap right now - so no pictures to share. I will try and get them up shortly (been very busy lately). I have an extra set if anyone is interested - $50 plus shipping.

[CyberGhostface]

Cool, I enjoyed the book. I didn't enjoy it $750, though. I will probably go in for a S/L. I'm not sure if even dad's signature would have justified $750, much less his brothers.

[CyberGhostface]

The optional slipcase is what SP should have done with NOS4A2 from the getgo.

[idlewarnings]

He must have had the wrong price listed before. Now it says $300.

52 copy traycased lettered edition (with bonus material not in the numbered edition) signed by Owen King, Joe Hill and Scott Snyder
$300+shipping+insurance

[Roseannebarr]

Still expensive but i bought one $300 hoping he will be the next big thing!!

I got my wife the Locke and Key earrings for Christmas and they are awesome.

I was tempted but I'm trying to save for something special. I'm not doing a very good job of it though since I did buy the Numbered and slipcase.

I bought the regular signed version and slipcase as well.

Cool - I have one of those on pre-order...

[cit74]

Me too - I cannot wait to finish reading the series - since I waited for the HC to come out

[CyberGhostface]

Is there an option to purchase a slipcase with all of the volumes? I haven't bought any yet.

[cit74]

Is there an option to purchase a slipcase with all of the volumes? I haven't bought any yet.

There wasn't when I ordered mine. Although your best bet is to get the first 5 off of ebay - someone is usually selling a HC set - that is how I got mine - all 5 for around $70. A lot cheaper than buying them new from amazon or the like. Although there are not any right now…except one that has each book signed (I got mine before his last book signing and got them all signed then)

[RC65]

I'm such a Joe Hill fan, I probably should give Locke and Key a go. Not a graphic novel fan, though...it's a quandary I've been debating for quite some time.

Definitely - it is a great story line and the art is well done by GR as well..but i am a graphic novel fan - so a little biased

NOS4A2 is my favorite of his novels. After that, I'd recommend them in this order: HEART-SHAPED BOX, GUNPOWDER, and -- lastly -- HORNS.

[mattgreenbean]

I'm currently diggin NOS4R2. I really liked his short story collection 20th Century Ghosts. Horns was pretty cool, faster paced then NOS4R2. That's all I've read by him so far.

[Dan]

I would not consider myself a fan of comics/graphic novels, but I started buying the Stephen King/Joe Hill related comics, them graphic novels. I REALLY like Locke & Key. I am still only mildly interested in other works up there, but Locke & Key is a great one to get your feet wet on.

[Ricky]

I read Heart-Shaped Box first and really enjoyed it, but 20th Century Ghosts is really good too if you want short stories.

[Scoogs]

Long shot: does anyone have an extra dust jacket for a Horns 1st/1st in fine condition?

From the SUB PRESS website:


The slipcases for George R. R. Martin's A Clash of Kings are due to ship to us at the end of this month. Once they're in hand, we'll slot the title in our shipping schedule as quickly as possible.
The slipcases for Joe Hill's NOS4A2 should be on the same freight truck as the cases for A Clash of Kings. We may have a few extra slipcases for NOS4A2 left after shipping the initial wave, which we'll post to the site as soon as we know for sure.

Cool. Thank you!!

[cit74]

Cool. Thank you!!

You can get each of the HC on amazon for around $20 - might be best bet - haven't seen a lot of all 5 HC on eBay in awhile. The set I found was all 5 for around $65 - so you might luck out if you keep searching on there.

[Amber]

I wondered if anyone else besides me was collecting Joe's books, I have all except the locke and key ones. all are signed copies with doodles:tongue1: I figured I would start out buying up his 1st and get in on the ground level before they get crazy expensive like Sai King's

[Nickelwise]

got this with a signed 1st of N0S4ATU that I bought on Ebay a couple months back, can't remember who the seller was.

Can anyone who has a PDF of the NOS4A2 Wraith/alternate ending mind sending me a copy? I own a copy of the book and will take a timestamped picture if necessary, it's just difficult for me to take out a fairly heavy and rare book to read such a lengthy passage more than once. If they decide to release it on its own or as an e-book I'll purchase a copy.

Awesome idea, Cyber!

I also own the SNL version and had reservations about reading it. If someone does have a .PDF or digital copy of the novella Wraith, I would deeply appreciate it if you PM me. ;)

[RC65]

Books are for reading, not for just fetishistic viewing...I'm as particular about my books as the next guy (probably more so), but I think it's important to not lose perspective on what books are meant to be. Just read it carefully and you (and the book) will be just fine. I have the S/L w/ the extra novella, and, trust me, it's well worth cracking open the boards (carefully) to read it.

[Joe315]

And if it is a high quality book, like NOS4A2, they are designed to be opened fully and lay flat without damaging the spine. I believe that is what Smyth bindings are meant for.

[mikeC]

My wife and I read the ending and the Novella w/o breaking or bending the spine, you'll be fine.

[WeDealInLead]

Does anyone here have that slipcase pictured on this page? Would it fit all five hardcovers? I can't really see if there is any room left because of the angle of the slipcase in the picture.

[Dan]

The slipcase hasn't been released yet, but is designed specifically for the hardcovers.

[cit74]

Just received notification that my locke n key slipcase edition has shipped - so should have it in a few days.

Riverrun Bookstore is selling signed and inscribed copies of Alpha & Omega via phone order. They are supposed to ship as soon as Joe stops by in a few days. You pay cover price plus shipping. He will sign up to 3 books, but it doesn't sound like they have any other first printing books available.

Looking for recommendations on which JH book to start reading next. I loved NOS4A2, and started 20th Century Ghosts, but got bored with the first few stories, and gave up. What else is a good read?

[Roseannebarr]

Horns is my only favorite!

[Dan]

He only has two other novels, Horns and Heart-Shaped Box, so either is good. Was it Joe's short stories specifically or are you not so much a fan of the short story? I ask because many consider 20th Century Ghost to be great. For me, I much prefer a novel, but have grown to like short stories too.

I do like short stories, but I read the first three in 20th Century Ghosts, and just wasn't feeling it. Who knows... Maybe I gave up too early?

I know the weather has been bad back East and we are finally getting much needed rain (for past 3 days) here in NorCal. That is great and all - except when you come home and the USPS has left a package on my front deck (fortunately I have a chair there that is raised and slightly away from the elements). I had two boxes today - and the big one was pretty soaked - from cheap graphics. Fortunately the only thing cheap was their name - the packing was great - tons of newspaper completely surrounding the books (which were in plastic wrap or a plastic bag) - so nothing was damaged. Cannot wait to read this this weekend:

and the packing of the slipcase from publisher was great as well: they had a full insert - not just a cardboard cutout so the book could shift in transit:

I just finished Horns last night.
I was pretty reluctant to read it, considering I tried to read 20th Century Ghosts sometime last year and just couldn't get into it. Honestly, 60 or so pages into Horns, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. It was a little dark in the beginning, and a bit uncomfortable to read. (Hell, I wasn't sure I even liked Ig. )
I'm really glad I didn't give up, because I loved it. It evolved into such a complex and well written story. Hill really is a phenomenal writer.

[CyberGhostface]

Update from SP:

The custom slipcases for Joe Hill's BIG dark fantasy novel, NOS4A2, are in our warehouse and have reached the top of the to-ship pile.

Thanks to everyone who picked up this extra for one of our favorite recent books. It'll take us a few days to get everyone's cases out the door, so please be patient.

We ordered a number of extras, figuring some wouldn't meet our quality standards. If they do, we'll have some extra copies for sale in a week or two.

[Amber]

How do ya'll find out about the slipcases? I have a 1st edition flatsigned copy of this book and it even has a doodle but I had no idea they were making a slipcase:(

[Dan]

The slipcSe is only for the limited edition by Sub Press. It will not fit the trade edition.

[CyberGhostface]

Amber try contacting jeffrey.whiley@ntlworld.com I know he was making slipcases for the trade edition of NOS4A2.

I purchased four of these from Jeff, they were top quality and a perfect fit for the UK trade and the Morrow special signed first edition

[Comrade Alex]

from SP:
We've just finished shipping the NOS4A2 slipcases, and find that we overordered by about thirty copies. Feel free to pick one up.

A reminder: these fit the SubPress limited edition, NOT the trade hardcover of NOS4A2.

Consider this a nifty segue:

We're now shipping the NOS4A2 Lettered Edition, and have three copies remaining. It's one per customer, and these are likely to go very quickly.

[CyberGhostface]

I hope the quality is brilliant seeing as it's almost 40 bucks including shipping.

I just finished NOS4A2 and I really enjoyed it. Noticed a couple things that have probably been posted here but I've been avoiding reading anything about the book so as to avoid ruining it for me. The number of Wraiths changed, total and in the US. Also, the morgue security guards girlfriend, who was said to be a fan of serial killers didn't know John Wayne Stacy last name is actually Gacy. Could have been an intentional error, but I think this character, although very minor as far as the story goes, should know the actual name. Not really big things but I feel they should have been caught by the multiple editors.

[mistercrowley]

I thought the Novella Wraith in the sub press edition was actually better than the book itself. It was more serious in tone and very creepy whereas i think the feel of NOS4A2 was a little too over the top ridiculous. I was not a big fan of it overall. Loved Horns and Heart Shaped Box.

I just finished NOS4A2 and I really enjoyed it. Noticed a couple things that have probably been posted here but I've been avoiding reading anything about the book so as to avoid ruining it for me. The number of Wraiths changed, total and in the US. Also, the morgue security guards girlfriend, who was said to be a fan of serial killers didn't know John Wayne Stacy last name is actually Gacy. Could have been an intentional error, but I think this character, although very minor as far as the story goes, should know the actual name. Not really big things but I feel they should have been caught by the multiple editors.

I don't recall the number of Wraiths changing. I noticed the John Wayne Stacy thing and thought it was an intentional character device.

It changes from 400 total and less then 100 in the US, to 500 in the US. I think the number is mentioned two or three times, so not a big deal and doesn't effect continuity.

Has anyone received their sgned books from Riverrun Bookstore yet? Should I contact them, or am I just being impatient?

I got mine yesterday. No notice was sent.

[Br!an]

My NOS4A2 slipcase arrived with a small dark spot and some glue marks on the back.

I notified them this morning, and within an hour they have sent out a replacement.

That's very good customer service.

Hi all

Question - is $60 for Joe Hill NOS4R2 Signed 1st/1st UK in mint condition sounds like a good deal ?

Thanks!

[WeDealInLead]

vjbooks.com have the UK 1st for $80 but every few weeks they have a sale on. If you're patient, you might even get it for half that.

Hi,

Just came back from the used bookstore with 2 different "Horns" ARC/Proof.

Proof - signed & Doddled - $25
ARC - unsigned - $30

Can someone please advise what is the difference ? which one is scarce (if any...) ? and finally - if I paid a fair price.....

Thanks !

I can't answer all your questions, but in think you did pretty good. I paid a little less for my ARC, but $30 isn't overboard. I don't have the proof, but now I want one.

[Booknutt]

The Proof is much rarer. They recalled and pulped most of them due to Joe not liking how they came out. Not sure how many survived.

Just noticed this in an email today from Borderlands book in SF - in regards to Borderlands upcoming series 2 little book series:

Do you remember Borderlands Press' wonderful Little Books series? They've just announced a second series of Little Books, and according to the announcement, they "are contracting with 15 popular writers to do Little Books Series II, and currently have the following writers on board: David J. Schow, Ed Gorman, Jack Ketchum, Dennis Etchison, Rick Hautala, David Morrell, Ray Garton, Ed Lee, Karl Wagner, Chet Williamson, Laird Barron, Poppy Z. Brite, and Joe Hill. (several more writers to follow). All volumes in the series will be signed and numbered and limited to 500 copies.

Notice Joe Hill is mentioned - although I cannot find this anywhere else (nor on borderlands website) - and so far this is the longest list of authors I have found for the upcoming 15 books. Also Rick Hautala is mentioned - so I presume there will be at least one unsigned book in the series unless his wife might be signing.

Fortunately they will be available elsewhere - no info on if any will be signed - Riverrun books doesn't know yet. Plus over half the stuff at SDCC winds up on ebay (sorry guess that brings the whole sell for profit argument back..)

[Patrick]

Buying SDCC stuff at the con and then reselling to others shouldn't be controversial. Paying a mark-up is cheaper than a trip to San Diego for most of us.

I agree. Maybe they are keeping things close to the vest for people who aren't familiar with the story. I doubt it, but we'll see.

[CyberGhostface]

I've heard good things from people who've seen it and having read the book that trailer shows next to nothing about what the story is actually about.

[SystemCrashOverRide]

I've heard mixed things. One reviewer of the TIFF screening called it a "tonal mess". I'm hoping that they've recut some of the film since the TIFF release to make it more cohesive.

Chad - Thanks for reminding me to order a signed copy....Checked ! (my past experience with ordering signed copies from B&N was - "Not taking phone orders"...). I also asked about the other books they have - all paperbacks

[Dano]

Thank you for the heads up! I was able to call in as well! Woot!

Same here, thanks for the info!

[RichardX]

Thanks for the tip. I ordered one as well. I wasn't exactly clear on the details of this "book." Is it a comic book? That seems to be how BN has it listed.

[jhanic]

It's a comic:


It is not necessary to have read NOS4A2 to enjoy or understand WRAITH, and vice versa. The novel tells one story; the comic tells another. That said, I think fans of one will find a lot to like in the other.

[Kingfan24]

Ordered! No offer of personalization though

[Dano]

Thanks for the tip. I ordered one as well. I wasn't exactly clear on the details of this "book." Is it a comic book? That seems to be how BN has it listed.

It's a hard cover collection of the 7 issue mini-series WRAITH produced by IDW.

[WeDealInLead]

$30 bucks for a Plain Jane regular size hardcover comic book? LOL.

[Dan]

I ordered one. The girl that I spoke with first ordered me one from the warehouse, even after asking several times that it was signed. She finally told me that whatever they have on the shelf is what they sent. She placed me on hold for a while and came back and said they actually have a different procedure for the signed orders. So, if you call make sure that you are getting on the list for the copies signed when Joe Hill visits the store.

I am sure that now that they are getting calls there might be some confusion on their part. The person I spoke with specifically said that they would ship next week after the signing - but I asked first if they knew that Joe Hill would be their signing - the guy I spoke with did know this - so that made my transaction smooth (for now until the book arrives :)).

I think that I might have been able to get some of the comic con exclusives - but I will have to wait until they arrive to post pics. One was of the locke and key portfolio (from wonder con) - with all 14 prints individually signed by rodriguez - then I asked the guy if he had any of the ida sdcc 2014 comic con books - he actually had them (only 1 copy each - the covers, wraith, and a few others - like the hellboy artist edition) and I bought the portfolio on ebay and he sent an invoice for the others - since he had not posted them yet on ebay - so I had to go sight unseen for these - so I will have to wait until they arrive.

Just starting to collect Joe Hill. I have some catching up to do. Reading through HSB right now. I like it so far

[DoctorZaius]

SP just announced they have 22 copies of the S/L NOS4A2 up for sale!

Damn, too late. Was in a meeting, and by the time I logged in, they were gone.

[Citizen of Lud]

Ouch that hurts I wanted one too!

[dnemec]

Damn! I didn't read the email right away! :pullhair:

[Scoogs]

Just missed it.
Had one in my cart and by the time I entered my info, it was gone.

[Kingfan24]

It was 125 for a damaged book... Not sure I would have paid it

[Scoogs]

After The Shining, that seems like a deal. :tongue:

[Kingfan24]

:smile_002:

[bdwyer19]

Yeah, but SP already sold several dinged copies, and I thought the members here said they were barely noticeable.

Mine had no flaw that I could see. Great deal.

Maybe Joe will sign books as well....

[bdwyer19]

Slipcases for NOS4A2 were sold out. So as much as I wanted the book, it would have been naked without the case.

returned from a weekend wedding getaway (a friends wedding in colorado) to find my SDCC 2014 lot had arrived:

Did anyone go to the signing tonight?

[DoctorZaius]

Did anyone go to the signing tonight?

Just got back. I went with my two daughters. He showed up for a signing, but when he arrived, B&N had set things up for a reading. Joe understandably did not have anything prepared, so instead he did a 50 minute Q&A. He was very entertaining, gracious, and funny. He would sign whatever you had, only three at a time, then you and to go the back of the line to get the next three signed. I am sad to say there were only 40 or so people there in person. Of course that meant more of Joe for the rest of us. He was very patient with posing for photos. I was so glad I went - when I left (I was the last one in line, for second time) he had begun signing all the stock that B&N had. I got Joe to sign two copies of WRAITH, both with doodles (I would sell one if someone wants one - PM me), and I got him to add some doodles to my signed limited editions. I will post some, including a photo with Joe and my daughters, in the coming days

No SK, and I brought a couple of books just in case. Grrrrr!

I have an extra slipcase if anyone needs one. PM me

[Robert Fulman]

I was there, too, and had a lot of fun. I have seen Stephen King speak a few times in the last couple of years, and I though it was funny how similar they are in their mannersisms, speech patterns, and false modesty. (Much like King will pretend to be surprised that people have heard of some his past books, Joe described himself as a "child actor" who appeared in Creepshow.) I wish I had brought some of my Locke and Key books with me to get signed. I had to take a train to Framingham (actually Ashland because, despite what the MBTA website claims, parking in Framingham is impossible) from work, so I didn't want to lug around a bunch of books in my backpack all day. Overall, the trip cost me $4 for parking plus $18.50 (!!) for a round-trip ticket between Ashland and Boston plus $30 for Wraith. However, it was worth it. I just wish I had had the foresight to go to Chipotle beforehand so I could have awkwardly watched him eat a burrito.

[Br!an]

I just called up and ordered two copies. $30 each with free delivery since I am a B&N member. The clerk said she still had quite a few copies. They also have signed later editions and paperback edition Heart Shaped Box, Nos4a2 and others. Joe signed their entire stock.

edit: I just received my email receipt and they gave me a 10% discount. :nana:

[cit74]

Sounds like a great evening. Saw him twice this past year - both events were great (and a similar showing - maybe slightly more). He was very entertaining. Glad you both got a bunch of books signed.

I don't want to cause you any concern, but I will say that I had to dig through books to find two copies of WRAITH that did not have dented corners. Hopefully the stock you are getting was put aside beforehand.

I am now sure we will have dents Br!an! :) i tried to order one yesterday and they were saving them for the event. But now they have extras! sometimes things are too good to be true. :)

B&N must know I am a member/collector as they called me today to let me know they had an extra available and could sent Wraith my way.

[RichardX]

Got my signed copy of Wraith from BN. Started reading it and at first it was a bit high schoolish but 100 pages later it was getting pretty good.

[mattgreenbean]

Got mine in a padded envelope wraped in air pillows inside of a big box. Is that how they always ship stuff? Cause they really packed this one book good.

My copies arrived too. Packaged the same way. They are beautiful copies. No bumps.

Joe signed each one on the front end paper with a Sharpie. I prefer the title page.

The store put a sticker on the front of each book. That's really my only complaint.

[DoctorZaius]

Glad to hear that you did not get any bumps. I saw them putting the stickers on that night - kills me!
