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

So can I take the sticker off?

[cit74]

mine arrived today - in same mailer in a box - no extra padding though - but it was perfect. My sticker came off easily too. All of my locke and key books are signed on the front end boards. Also I was pleasantly surprised - since I asked if it could be inscribed to both me and my son:
to Chad & Caleb
Let's Ride…

very cool

Congrats. This is still my favorite JH book.

[mikeC]

I'm about 3/4 through Horns and I'm not sure if I like it or not. If it was another author I probably would have stopped after the whole God vs Devil vs Woman is more like God stuff. It's very uneven and immature(?). There's a lot going on some of it childish theories about God and the universe as well as mature explorations into friendships and love. Sometimes it plays like a bad cable tv movie and sometimes it reads like a great comic.
Very odd compared to the straight forward Nosforatu and the dark comedy of HSB.

i loved it, liked it much better than the other two. looking forward to the movie. i thought Nos4a2 read like a bad comic no horror.

[Girlystevedave]

I wasn't sure about it when I first picked it up. It wasn't because of the writing, for me, which I thought was great. I just didn't like any of the characters, and found everyone to be annoying and/or despicable.
After about halfway through, I was utterly obsessed and completely in love with it.

[Ben Staad]

I wasn't a fan of it either. I think you may have nailed it with the description.

The Horn's movie is available to rent online and through Comcast On Demand.

[herbertwest]

And in Cinemas in France :)

[Merlin1958]

It's a PPV on Directv and it wasn't bad at all. They jazzed it up for the big screen a bit, but most of the book came through. Good deal for, Mr. Hill!!!

[herbertwest]

I thought that it was quite good actually! Really impressed.

[WeDealInLead]

52% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oof. Often times a bad review will just make me see a movie or read a book more but RT is generally right with their reviews.

[mikeC]

I liked it as well. The casting and changes to Lee were kind of weak. the rest of casting was very good.
The ending was weak too. I they should have done something with fire, but maybe they didn't have the budget.
But other that it was great.

[Br!an]

It's strange that they have it released to the internet on 10/3/14 and the theatrical release as 10/31/14.

I made a donation to the Read for Pixels Pixel Project a few weeks back and in return Joe Hill was to send a 75 word hand-written story on a postcard. This is what was waiting for me in my inbox this morning:

Hi Jim
Joe Hill just emailed us with a message for you:

Right, I wrote Jim's story today, and it came out really well. It's 200 words, however, not 75, and I'll probably need to put it in a letter, not a postcard. Will you check with Jim and make sure that's agreeable?

Could you let us know if you're okay with this?

Uh, yeah, i'd say it's agreeable.

That's awesome of him. I wonder what the backlash would be if he published a story for just small book shops, if it's even possible. Maybe that's been done before.

They do shows some hardback listed as 'out of stock' with a note that they can order them (1 to 5 days)

[cit74]

He signs there often - just have to wait for his next book/graphic novel to be released - then we'd have a better chance of HC 1/1.

[dnemec]

I preordered one of his books (NOS4A2 maybe?) directly from Water Street Books. Book came nicely packaged in good condition and signed as promised. It's definitely worthwhile, and great of Joe Hill to do that for them!

I think it is. This is the Deluxe slipcased 1 of 200 version signed by Hill and Chong. It had an issue price of £49.99. So this is basically issue price if you get it for $75. The last one sold on eBay went for $118.

What you can get for it.

Is it one of the limiteds or flatsigned?

David at Bett's has a lettered edition with Chong jacket sketch for $150. (If it's still available.)

The PC one in this listing is the 1 of 200 slipcased version that has both Hill and Chong signatures.

There is also a 1 of 300 version that was signed only by Joe Hill. That one usually goes for about $100. PC a little less.

I would estimate a flatsigned first at $50.

Joe just leaked a photo of his new novel "The Fireman" on his twitter account.

Joe Hill´s THE FIREMAN notebooks

[RC65]

Does he write his stuff in longhand? That pic would seem to suggest that (though I suppose it's possible he had his typewritten pages bound, but those look like just standard journals). Interesting -- as involved as he is social media, I would've assumed he wrote his fiction on the computer.

EDIT: Never mind...visited the provided link and got my answer...sounds like he alternates between the two, though, yes, primarily longhand:

THE FIREMAN notebooks. Though a few hundred pages were written directly on the computer; some of the beginning, some of the end.

Finished my 2nd draft earlier today. That feels good.

UPDATE: Warren Ellis shot me a note asking what sort of notebooks I’m using. I tried out a few different ones in the course of writing the novel. In the end, the best of them (far and away) was the Leuchtturm1917 Master, hardcover, ruled.

Famously so, he is a big advocate of writing the first draft in longhand. He frequently touches upon it when publicly speaking or when asked through his twitter/tumblr.

[RC65]

Huh. I've been a big fan of his since the early days of POP ART, and have seen him on tour twice, and I've never picked up on that before. Learn something new everyday.

I believe he started it with N0S4A2. If I remember correctly it was recommended to him and he fell in love with the process while writing N0S4A2

An excerpt from a recent interview :

What’s next for you?
HILL: I’m editing the first volume of The Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy, for Houghton Mifflin. That will be out next year.
And I finished a new novel called The Fireman. I actually finished the book two weeks ago, and I’m really happy with it. It’s long. It’s about 1,000 pages in manuscript. It’s Game of Thrones size. Hopefully, I’ll trim it back a bit, but I’m pretty happy with it. I’m happier than I usually am with my first drafts. Most of my first drafts are god awful messes, and this one is in pretty good shape, so that’s nice. Those are the next two things that are coming along in the pipeline. And I’m working on a book of novellas.

Not picking a fight, just indulging my curiosity and doing a bit of research in my own collection. It appears that Joe's current signature uses the "Loopy H", and his older stuff is a more traditional H. All of these below are ones I either had signed in person or through a bookstore promotion and are all verifiable:

No fight. Hill makes it tough to tell a true sig as he prints his name. Having him sign in front of you is a guarantee of a valid sig.

I just heard from Bill Schafer at Sub Press that they will not be continuing the Lock & Key signed limited series. While it wasn't highly popular it is disappointing to have an incomplete set that will never be completed. IDW Publishing is planning on continuing the leather bound special editions one each summer. Next summer will be Keys to the Kingdom.

While it wasn't highly popular it is disappointing to have an incomplete set that will never be completed. IDW Publishing is planning on continuing the leather bound special editions one each summer. Next summer will be Keys to the Kingdom.

I'm guessing that's because they still have over 40 copies of book 3 (I got mine when they had a 50% off sale over the summer). It is ashame that it won't be concluded - they were nice books. I never started with the idw books - too many damn limitations, etc. now I guess my set will be incomplete - unless I finish it off with the IDW books - which might be an option. Too bad he didn't just cut the number of books in half and go with 125 - although not sure if that would have been cost effective.

[Patrick]

Bummer about the incomplete set. The price point per volume was too high for many of us fans.

[cit74]

Bummer about the incomplete set. The price point per volume was too high for many of us fans.

Agree completely - especially if bought right out of the shoot. I ended up paying about $125 per book - which obviously I felt a better price point - too bad they weren't originally set at that price

[Patrick]

I agree, Chad. At that price, I would have jumped in quickly.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Joe Hill wrote the screenplay of a pilot of a "TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE" reboot serie
>>> http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3330603/tv-tales-darkside-pilot-ordered/



“Tales From the Darkside” is a reboot of fantasy-thriller anthology series from the 1980s. Joe Hill (“Horns,” “Locke & Key”) wrote the pilot script and exec produces for CBS TV Studios with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Heather Kadin, as well as Mitch Galin and Jerry Golod.

I watched it yesterday along with a good marriage. I thought both were pretty enjoyable, but not going to win any awards or anything.

[Patrick]

I watched Horns on Netflix as well recently. As usually happens when I love a book, the movie rarely stands up to the challenge. Not that the movie was bad, I just would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read the book.

Hey all!
I've been thinning out my Joe Hill collection over the last few weeks and still have 20th Century Ghosts (slipcased) and the lettered edition of Volluntary Comittal up on ebay under the username cdemmons.
If anyone's interested, let me know.
Thanks

[bdwyer19]

I was able to watch Horns last night. I haven't read the book, so I had no knowledge of the story.

I want my two hours back! Low budget and mediocre acting makes for a very dull film.

Agree... I was not a huge fan.. and to be honest... it will stop me from reading the book. That may in turn be my loss:(

[bdwyer19]

Yep... I have zero interest in picking up the book now.

[herbertwest]

NEVER watch a movie if you may want to read the book after.
Once you watch a movie it is extremely difficult to create your own images as you keep having the pictures in mind...

[mattgreenbean]

Hold up, I watch a lot of movies that aren't Hollywood big budget. Horns was really good for a film that no one cares about. I thought that it stuck with the book for the most part. I also thought that the director and crew gave some great style and imagery to the story. The acting was perfectly fine. There's plenty of films to stay clear of, this is not one of them.

I would put this on par with the 2013 Carrie remake, which I also liked a lot.

[sharki69]

I really liked the book. Funny and sharp

[Dano]

[swintek]

Re: HORNS: I haven't seen the movie- probably because I liked the book so much; hearing that the movie isn't very good makes it a pretty easy decision to just leave the great story in my head, unscathed. It is disheartening to me, however, that folks will probably not read what is really a unique Fantasy/Murder Mystery after seeing the inferior film. That's a bummer.

Horns limited - depends on whether you're after the 1/500 or the 1/200. 1/200 is going to run $350 - $500 or so. 1/500 probably a bit cheaper.

The editions:


a regular unsigned edition in a plain slipcase containing ALL stories in both of the two original PS editions plus specially commissioned artwork from the multiple award-winning Vinny Chong (1,000 copies priced at £25);
a special numbered slipcased edition signed by Joe and including additional artwork from Vinny and a new photograph of the author on the slipcase (100 copies priced at £75); and
an oversized traycased lettered edition (just 26 copies, A to Z) signed by Joe, Vinny, Chris Golden (who penned the original Intro) and Ramsey Campbell (who will be adapting his review of the book written at the time of its original publication) plus a special DVD containing short movies of two of the featured stories, namely ‘Abraham’s Boys’ and ‘Pop Art’ directed by Dorothy Street and Amanda Boyle respectively (26 copies priced at £350).

the "Special Bound" horns is a regular Trade HC with a sig sheet tipped in. There are 1180 copies sold as 118 cartons of 10 books.

So I recently got a NOS4A2 that has the tipped in page that reads "This Signed First Edition Of" exactly like what was discussed with this version of horns. Does anyone know the number of books done this way? It looks like there was 1180 of the Horns but I could not find info on NOS4A2. I will post photos later today.

So what do you guys think the top of the heap Incarnations of collectible Locke & Key are?

With so many publishings/repackagings/variants of the work, it is hard to even figure out what you want.

You have the Sub Press Lettered/ S/N LE/ and Unsigned HC but they only got through 3 Books in the series and discontinued! Sure puts a damper on the price tag of a Hefty Lettered edition don't you think?

Then IDW has a number of "fancy Editions" Leatherbound... Limited HC... Oversized Traycased HC in a box with additions, ARRGH it's hard to even know what is out there.

I have a

Unsigned Trade of Welcome to Lovecraft
A S/N LE of Head Games
and no copy yet of Crown of Shadows

What are some of the better options for premium editions of the last three books?

[Dan]

Of course I was upset about the cancellation by Sub Press. I think it lost any retail the three might have had. IDW will still be releasing the leather bound deluxe editions. I plan on sticking with those. He told me one per year, so the fourth should be ready this summer.

So I picked up this book on eBay. I am returning it because it is a 5th printing but I also believe the signature is fake but would like verification here. It is a 5th printing and is dated March of 2007. The book came out in Feb of 2007 so a 5th printing in March less than 4 weeks later seems pretty unlikely right?

[mkb.redux]

The signature looks good to me; we have seen a lot of Joe's signatures here and elsewhere, and this is consistent with the overall form and variations I know of. --But no way to be sure--it's not a complex signature.

[Johnny Alien]

Really it was the date that didn't make sense to me with it being a 5th printing.

I don't like the signature and there is no way that there was a fifth printing within a month.

[Joe315]

I agree. If I am remembering correctly he wasn't known as King's son yet so 5th printing so soon after release is unlikely.

[RC65]

Joe may have just screwed up the date, and put '07 instead of '08...it takes me a while, too, to adjust to the new year when writing checks, etc.

I'd say that's more likely than a forgery...the sig looks good to me, and, besides, given Hill's generous nature with his sigs, his signature isn't going to add much value to a trade HC, anyhow, let alone a 5th printing, so I can't imagine anyone bothering.

[Johnny Alien]

Faked signatures of his were happening all over eBay a few years back. The seller here just listed first edition and I assumed first pressing because of the date on the signature. So I think perhaps someone might have just faked a signature on whatever hc printing they picked up. I contacted him to return it based on the 5th printing issue and then remembered why I had assumed it was a first printing.

[Johnny Alien]

Is there any chance that the 07 is actually an 09 that blurred together with the sharpie? I told the seller that I am pretty sure it's not authentic but I also don't want to be deceitful with what I am telling him.

[Lauterer]

This was the first intention i had...

2 things i have never seen on a signed Joe Hill the the hook of the J going through the top line, and all of his e"s in Joe either go through the back of the e or at least touch. never saw either of these things in a genuine Joe Hill siggy. I have about 200 or so siggy's so that would turn me off. Maybe he was buzzed but i doubt it. also good catch on the 5th printing. Highly unlikely. All of my 07' are 1st printings. I have only seen a coulpe 2nd printings from that time signed. Never a 3rd.

Ralph,

Sub Press already did a S/L of NOS4A2. This is a new edition with the Wraith graphic novel included.

That being said, not sure if I want to own another copy just to get the graphic novel included.

[WeDealInLead]

Joe Hill is a big fan of the double/triple/quadruple/etc. dip. And yes, this is absolutely ridiculous. There are at least six different editions of his comics too.

[cit74]

:orely:

Well this one does include the entire wraith graphic novel...although it's going to be a very large, zombie killing book at nearly 900 pages. Initially I though it was only a limited of the wraith comic - but the subpress listing seems to imply the original novel is included as well.

I already have 2 signed copies of wraith (different covers of the book) and one of those is inscribed - so really on the fence about this one.

[jsmcmullen92]

And ordered... thanks. Never could get the original S/L and don't want to pay the full $350 for it, so this is a deal to me.

[cit74]

Does anyone have any idea how an IDW book will hold up over time? Not sure how many large (page wise) books they've produced, since they're mainly in the comic/graphic novel business. Their artist/artifact edition books are very nice (I have 3) - but they are the same cost, no slipcase, and on,y maybe 200 pages. I think because of sheer size of this book - it'll be tough to even open it to fully enjoy the wraith story and art. The wraith HC books are nearly the same size (dimensions) as the subpress nos4a2

[Kingfan24]

I had to stop collecting the comics because it got so ridiculous.

Hence why I just waited for the HC compilation. How many different covers can you make for a 6 edition comic? Especially at a book signing - I remember it took Joe forever to sign all of the individual comics that Patrick brought ;)

[Kingfan24]

Wow I cannot type on an iPhone.

I've already got a Wraith HC sketched by CPWIII! :D

Oh man, I wasn't even talking about single issues. I meant this: http://www.amazon.ca/Locke-Key-Master-Joe-Hill/dp/1631402242/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433170065&sr=8-2&keywords=joe+hill+locke+and+key+1 Another version coming out this week online but is already available from retail stores.

[CyberGhostface]

Tempted but not sure if it warrants a double-dip at that price. Wonder how long it will take to sell out.

[frik]

Couldn't resist: my fingers took control and ordered it for me. :arg:

[SystemCrashOverRide]

I jumped on this, I couldn't afford the other SL editions and it sounds like it's going to be a glorious monster, but with other recent purchases (Finders Keepers NA, UK, WHS, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Pre-order/slipcase, Owen King's SL We're All in This Together) I'm very much tapped out. Almost passed on it.

[Scoogs]

So this is actually the novel for the NOS4A2 portion? I just assumed it was all a graphic novel when I saw it was from IDW.
I don't follow the comics at all.

[RC65]

I don't follow the comics at all.

I was confused on that point as well (whether the NOS4A2 portion was the text novel or a new graphic-novel interpretation), so clarified the issue with Bill. As per his response, NOS4A2 is the text novel:

It's the novel proper plus the graphic novel Wraith.

The only new material is the 26 illustrations.

Since I already have the Sub Press S/L in slipcase, and have little interest in comics/graphic novels, I'm passing on this one.

I actually purchased a signed copy of Heart-Shaped Box from a brick and mortar Barnes and Noble back in 2008, and it was a 5th printing with a Joe Hill signature dated 3/5/07. They had multiple copies on the shelf.

wow could be a 5th printing. Still notice the e and the J compared to the other signature.

[CyberGhostface]

Just confirmed with Bill that the new edition won't have the Wraith novella or alternate ending.

[Johnny Alien]

Crazy. I wonder how that works out? It doesn't seem like a 5th printing would have happened by march of 07.

[Ben Eads]

I love the appeal of the novel and graphic novel in one. I'm tapped out, though. But I'll pick up one down the road.

[Jimimck]

I don't collect Joe's stuff (yet) and so was all excited when I saw the email from SP. Then I started to read that this isn't the first S/L of this book, and so started to wonder why there is another, and if it is worth picking it up as my intro to Hill collecting??

[NeedfulKings]

So, the original Sub Press S/L has NOS4A2 and Wraith (written form), so I'm not biting. I will save my money for his next original novel. :)

[Lauterer]

I also skip and think that they will get cheaper in the secondary market. 999 copies / 150$ is more than enough for the market i guess...

[Ivo]

My OCD doesn't allow me not to order, so I did and requested the same number as the first s/l.
It'll will be interesting to see the secondary market listings and confusion over which s/l it is that's being sold.

The main difference is that this one has the 'Wraith' miniseries with the novel. The original S/L had some bonus content (an extra novella and alternate ending) that's not here.

It looks like a pretty nice book so you could do worse. I don't know how much value it will have in the long run, though, if you're planning on reselling later.

I wouldn't be too worried about resell value, I buy with the intent of keeping and enjoying the books. Sounds as though a few here think they may be cheaper on the seconday market down the road however. Maybe I might see about picking one up if they are a little cheaper.
Thanks for the clarification re the differences.

[Dan]

I asked for a specific number to match my Sub Press NOS4A2 and was told they will try, but since it's another publishers book they can't guarantee. I understand this, but IDW does not sell this direct so buying from another retailer is the only option. So I guess some people will get there numbers and others won't. I'm thinking maybe I should have just waited until secondary market if I'm just getting a random number.

Not a slam against Sub Press, all retailers will have this problem, just a frustration.

[Johnny Alien]

Turns out that Bett's also has a 2007 signed, 5th printing copy of Heart-Shaped Box for sale. So apparently it's totally possible but it still seems odd.

[Ben Staad]

I have UK 1sts of Horns and 20th Century Ghosts for sale (unsigned...and highly desirable since Joe didn't scribble in these! LOL!) and a copy of the Slipcased Gunpowder from PS signed by Joe and V.Chong. I would prefer PP gift and to ship only in the US. If interesested please send me an offer via PM. Pictures available upon request. Thanks.

EDIT: Gunpowder is sold.

From a recent interview (http://www.writersbone.com/interviewsarchive/2015/7/6/pouring-gasoline-on-the-fire-with-horror-author-joe-hill): I’ve got a new novel, a dark modern fantasy called The Fireman, which will be out in the summer of 2016. It’s about a plague of spontaneous combustion; it’s my version of The Stand, soaked in gasoline and set on fire.
