In the description though it states that the number (copy) you recieve may not be the one shown in the scan. So even though that one is not marked over, the one you recieve may be.
Many of you know that I do love me some Joe Hill and am trying to build a nice collection, but the more I see this one the less I like it. Blurbs on the front and back aren't needed. It make it look... cheap and desperate. It will probably end up on my shelf someday but only as a result of Completism surpassing Desirability.

It's really sad. This edition is an example of classless book binding.

I agree, Chris. Not high on the priority list of Hill gets. On another note; I have had good luck purchasing from the seller. Packages well.

is this book literally being judged by its cover?
maybe i'll feel differently when i get my copy, but i don't get all the hate for it. Is there more to it than the dust wrapper?
i might be in the minority, but i quite like the story and enjoyed the whole end of the world on an intimate scale aspect. Also, from what i have seen, it looks like Stoupakis knocked it out of the park on the illustrations - i think they look amazing. And, any shortcomings of the dust wrapper will be discreetly hidden by that killer painting on the slipcase.
I dunno, i'm excited to add this one.

Yes. Cover. Slipcase. Production values. Someone is getting lazy. If you put this with the sk anniversary editions. You would say. Why? Why? Why? The story was quite enjoyable but I have many many signed copies that I. Like way better

I think we are judging the limited edition not the story itself. I think we all own a copy of the trade and it is most likely signed. We are discussing paying extra money (quite a bit compared to the signed trade) for the production values offered with this book. If it is anything like other PS books then the Slipcase will be flimsy cardboard, cheaper paper, and smaller than a trade book. Then for this individual book the dust jacket is very unappealing with the NY times quote and pen markings. Honestly the only thing going for this version of the book is the illustrations. If it were up to me I would rather just own a portfolio of the art signed by the artist that I can add with my signed trade book and I now have the best of both worlds, the book itself holds no value to me.

forgot to mention the signed sharpie or marker signature! The signature alone is driving me crazy.

I don't actually have a copy so didn't even know that!

I actually cancelled my order. I'm sure the book will be nice but I wouldn't have been happy with it.

is this book literally being judged by its cover?


I'm in the middle to some degree on this one...I really like the art and the blurbs on the back don't bother me, nor does the Sharpie signature, etc. But it is an awfully busy cover, and, worse, there are some poor typesetting choices on the cover and spine. Why is NUMBER ONE capitalized...some here have mentioned an air of desperation, of oversell, and I think that's true here. Why is "Bestselling" capitalized? It's not part of the "New York Times" name, and if one is capitalizing the first letter of all the words, then why not "novel"...? Why is "WORLD" and "BURN" larger than "THE" and "WILL"...I get that someone's trying to be a little creative, but it's a bit of a dated method to do so...plus the ellipsis points (. . .) just look unprofessional, amateurish. Perhaps worst, and my eyes can't get past it, is on the cover and spine it looks like -- because the font and size are *exactly* the same and far, far too close together (only the color is slightly different) -- it reads THE JOE FIREMAN HILL.

I love Joe Hill's work (though, honestly, I didn't think too much of THE FIREMAN...very disappointed, actually). I collect Joe Hill. But I passed on this one as the Goldsboro signed/numbered UK HC w/ red edgestain (essentially a dolled-up UK trade) with fantastic aftermarket slipcase was bought first, and after seeing the final product of the PS edition I have no desire to replace my UK HC with this one. PS's art aside, even the UK trade HC is a more impressive, pleasing edition than this one costing three times as much. For me, a limited edition at this price point needs to offer production values that exceed every other volume available in order to justify its expense...in this case, however, it falls short in that comparison on just about every level. Really a shame -- and to be fair, not indicative of PS' work across the board...they have, in fact, released some nice-looking books, especially in the last few years, it seems, but do they do falter in some instances, and this is certainly one of them.

[surly]

got it. perhaps time will be kinder to this one as it looks like there are a few things that im optimistic about (yes, I love that art on this one that much). still looking forward to adding it to the shelves.

Great review, Ron. Although I'll end up with it eventually; by no means a priority and I feel they can be picked up aftermarket on the cheap later on.

Thanks, but I did contact Jeff a couple of months ago and he said he was out with no real plans on making any more. He said he'd keep my info in case he got enough requests to make more, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope..

[jsmcmullen92]

Interesting. Didn't know that. Probably due to it being a 2 color. It's a very difficult process for 2 colors. I would be interested in one for my Goldsboro but I was waiting until the IT case was finalized by Simon. Maybe if we both ask he will who knows

[RC65]

Yes, just to confirm: The aftermarket slipcase that I mention I purchased was indeed the one from Jeff. Absolutely first rate work…it's my first slipcase from him, but seeing the quality I received, I doubt it will be my last.

Are you talking to that guy on eBay...? I emailed back and forth with him yesterday and I still have no idea if he has a 1st or 2nd printing. So I bought something a little bigger from him instead... :excited:

Anyway, if you want the 2nd printing, I can get that pic for you.

Sorry this is so poor...my iPhone is out of charge, as is my Canon camera, so I had to use the built-in webcam in my computer. I've always assumed this is a 1st as it doesn't otherwise indicate it is not or that it is (or there exists) a subsequent printing(s).

Yes I was, Dez. A photo of the 2nd printing would be great to have for comparison. You must have made a backdoor deal with him because I didn't see anything else listed that was bigger :evil: Reckon we'll find out when ya post! :)

...I find the signature a little worrisome. I don't think Joe's signature is -- by any stretch of the imagination -- rare enough that people are faking his sig, and the one on this item does look legit...but Joe made it abundantly clear to me when I had him sign this in person that he prefers to sign this one on the cover (for whatever reason), as the below photo attests. The only signed copy on ABE is also signed on the cover.

https://s17.postimg.org/qgsuvuh7z/hill_sig.jpg

Now maybe that's not as hard and fast a rule as he led me to believe, or maybe owner of the eBay copy insisted he sign on that page...but, still, it is curious.

[dnemec]

Ya know, I always assume a Hill signature is real. But you're right - every signed copy I've seen of Better Than Home was signed on the front. And his "J"s are usually rounded... However after looking at all my Hill signatures (and not surprisingly, I have a bunch), it does look like 1 in my collection, but only 1. My copy of Voluntary Committal has a similar signature, which is definitely real.

Did someone here get it? I tapped out and instead bought an SK S/L.

Yea that's the one I was looking at, Ron. Sig seemed a little off to me as well. I threw a few bids at it but didn't go for the gold by any means. Matter of fact, I lost on every Hill item that guy had up for bid. Plus the signed Cell by SK. I really like the sig and doodle on the ABE copy!

[Beverly Marsh]

Skelton Crew will be doing a Christmasland Key! Gonna look pretty with the mug :)

I don't collect the Locke and Key ones as there are waaaay too many but I do have a couple and will definitely be getting this.

Per The Fireman from PS, I also don't like the blurb on the front and the price is blacked out. It's your typical PS edition(which I do get all of the SK ones)but I don't hate it and I certainly love the artwork.

The same seller offered a copy of the Voluntary Committal chapbook and I placed the winning bid. I'd appreciate a picture of the signature page of your copy for comparison. There are fake copies of this chapbook out there and I decided to take the chance with this one :)

[CyberGhostface]

Kind of agree concerning the comments on the Fireman cover. I could understand stuff like that on a mass market edition but "#1 bestseller" and the review quotes are really unnecessary for something that is mainly geared towards hardcore fans and collectors.

The same seller offered a copy of the Voluntary Committal chapbook and I placed the winning bid. I'd appreciate a picture of the signature page of your copy for comparison. There are fake copies of this chapbook out there and I decided to take the chance with this one :)

I didn't check out his copy of Voluntary Committal as I already had it. Here is my signature page:

EDIT: That signature looks very similar to mine.

Ya know, I always assume a Hill signature is real. But you're right - every signed copy I've seen of Better Than Home was signed on the front. And his "J"s are usually rounded... However after looking at all my Hill signatures (and not surprisingly, I have a bunch), it does look like 1 in my collection, but only 1. My copy of Voluntary Committal has a similar signature, which is definitely real.

Also (consider this rumor mill worthy) I learned that Strange Weather: Four Short Novels (ISBN 978-0062663115) is scheduled for October 17....if the pattern of Joe Hill limited editions is followed, it's Subterranean Press' turn for a limited edition (but this is only speculation)

Apparently we can expect Strange Weather in October (US 10/17 & UK 10/19)

This will be an award-nominated collection of award-nominated novellas:
'Snapshot, 1988' (the only title in the collection which will be previously published) , tells the story of an adolescent in Silicon Valley who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician, a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that swipes memories. The audio edition will be read by Wil Wheaton.
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, a Prospero's island of roiling vapour that seems animated by a mind of its own. The audio edition will be read by Joe Hill.
One autumnal day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails, splinters of bright crystal that tear apart anyone who isn't safely under cover. 'Hard Rain Gonna Fall' explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as clouds of nails spread out across the country and the world. Amidst the chaos, a girl studying law enforcement takes it upon herself to resolve a series of almost trivial mysteries . . . apparently harmless puzzles that turn out to have lethal answers. The audio edition will be read by Kate Mulgrew.
Finally, in 'Loaded' a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun movement. Under the hot glare of the spotlights, though, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it. As a storm of locusts bears down upon his small mid-western town, he reaches for the gun again, and sets out upon a last day of reckoning. The audio edition will be read by Stephen Lang.
Beautifully written, they'll form a stand-out collection as well as a great stand-alone stories with appeal for the mainstream as well as the genre reader, and will keep Joe's sales as well as critical profile high between novels.

...I find the signature a little worrisome. I don't think Joe's signature is -- by any stretch of the imagination -- rare enough that people are faking his sig, and the one on this item does look legit...but Joe made it abundantly clear to me when I had him sign this in person that he prefers to sign this one on the cover (for whatever reason), as the below photo attests. The only signed copy on ABE is also signed on the cover.

https://s17.postimg.org/qgsuvuh7z/hill_sig.jpg

Now maybe that's not as hard and fast a rule as he led me to believe, or maybe owner of the eBay copy insisted he sign on that page...but, still, it is curious.

I have a First Printing that Joe signed on the inside and a second printing he signed on the cover with the baseball.

did anyone receive # 171 of the S/N LE of the Fireman?

I ordered my copy through Camelot books and my number was not matched even though they asked for it from PS Publishing.

Very disappointed as I have multiple other Joe Hill books including both editions of 20th Century Ghosts in 171 :(

Does anyone buy those keys? What do you do with them? I thought it would be cooler as necklaces or something, I got my wife the earrings and they are awesome wish they did more of that type stuff.

[wolfehr]

I've been collecting the keys, but right now I'm just storing them away. I'm planning to get some sort of display case made at some point. Haven't gotten around to it yet though.

I think Dolso might have made a custom case for the keys at some point in the past.

The other titles in the series have been about 125 pages (+/- 15 pages). They're small though and text is approximately "normal" size. Phone is an iPhone 6 for size comparison.

I started this series with CD with the knowledge that Joe Hill would have a book in the series. So far I have spent over $400 for the series. I ask myself, would I have paid over $400 for an anthology of these books signed by same authors. The answer is, probably not. I should have only purchased the Joe Hill book. Hindsight is 20/20, of course.

Just got this email from borderlands press...

A Little Silver Book of Sharp Shiny Slivers
by Joe Hill
Is Almost SOLD OUT!

If you have been a subscriber to the entire Little Book Series, it is VERY important that you visit our website and PRE-ORDER your copy of this title to ensure we get you your matching number.

We have set aside enough to cover our subscribers but we want to be sure you get your copy.

When the unmatched (non subscriber) copies are sold out, we will have 41 copies still remaining that belong to matched sets.

At that point. If anyone wishes to have a copy of the Joe Hill title, they will need to purchase an entire matching set of 15 Little Books
($450.00 @ $30 ea.)

(you can email us to set up a payment plan if necessary)

Based on the email I got, I'm guessing orders were coming in very fast so they temporarily paused accepting orders to count their stock to make sure they had copies reserved for people collecting the series and the complete sets.

If you look at the series one you literally cannot find all the books in a matching set unless you want to pay over 1000 bucks. I think they will only increase in value.

[cit74]

Apparently borderlands did hold back about 40 copies of the Hill limited (I'd have to find the original email) and these will only be sold as part of a complete set - of the second series - all matching numbers. I know I saw this somewhere - but cannot find it anywhere on the borderlands website. I actually bought the first series at a Camelot sale years ago - and have a matching number set of all of the books to date - they look nice on the shelf (and fit in smaller spaces)

I don't understand how BP has handled JH's Little Book. At all. It's weird. While I don't buy every title, I've been buying them here and there for probably over a decade now. Never got an email on this, and upon inquiring if there were any way to purchase it now was told (like above) that the only way to get the book would be to buy the whole set. No thanks. Weird.

I've found the marketing and product announcements to be somewhat lacking. I've been collecting this series directly from BP, but the only notice I got from them was the email that they're running low on stock. I was actually on their website the night before I heard about it here and it wasn't listed in the little books series II section (shrug). In the past I've stumbled across a new one by checking the website, then get an email announcement a few weeks later. Of course most of them don't sell out anywhere near as fast as the Joe Hill one.

I believe they oversold and now have a mess to deal with, some folks that have been ordering from CD got shafted as well. Probably because some collectors that never bought any of these before decided to snag copies before the collectors that have been collecting them from the first book in the series had their chance to buy. I'm, willing to bet multiple collectors shared the link and also probably bought multiple copies, screwing everything up for the publishers involved and the loyal customers of the series. I agree it should have been handled differently. If King had been announced as one of the authors, things would most definitely have to have been handled differently.

[Kingfan24]

Those who ordered the Little Bronze Book from us were notified via email. It was sent on 03/24/2017 with the subject line: "New Book In A Series You Might Collect!" Not that it does you a whole lot of good now, even if it turns up!

This book was a serious mess for us and we're not real happy with how things turned out. All I can say is, we're getting less copies of this title than we were promised, which is VERY disappointing, especially considering the lengths we went to selling MANY MANY copies of some of the books by "not as famous" authors in the series.

I apologize for saying anything about this, it really is none of my business. I was fortunate enough to get my matching number (I think) so I should just shut up about it.

That would be good info to have as well. Me personally, I'd only be interested in original work or it if contained some previously unpublished material.

Joe described the book to me as: "A collection of introductions and little essays and reviews."

It was certainly worth $30. I'm not certain that it is indispensable.

So I was wrong assuming either Subterranean or PS would publish the limited of Strange Weather :redface:
Nevertheless, very excited CD is going to publish it!

Anyone here who collects the Locke & Key keys have a cool way to display them? I just picked up a couple more...

Anyone here who collects the Locke & Key keys have a cool way to display them? I just picked up a couple more...

All of my keys are just sitting in there a little velvet bags in a box somewhere. I was thinking of actually making a display board with some nails to hang the keys from. Just never got around to starting that project.

[surly]

I like the keys and have quite a few of them, but have not come up with a fun display yet. I saw someone once (instagram perhaps) who had made a fake book with a pasted on LOCKE & KEY cover. When you open the book, it was hollow inside and the key was displayed like in a shadow box. That way you can put it on your shelf like a book and then open it to view when you want to see it. I wish I had a pic, but it was pretty cool. Looked like you would need some skills to make the book, of which I have none. Plus, you would need a lot of 'books' if you had multiple keys.
Ideally I'm looking for something that you could display multiple keys all together. I like the display board idea - if you did something like that, would you keep the tags on or take them off and keep them separate? I certainly like the tags, as many are signed, but I imagine it would look kinda messy with a bunch of tags hanging with the keys.

[wolfehr]

Joe Hill re-Tumblr'd (no idea what the right word is) someone who made shadow box things for the keys. I have no idea how or where they got they made, but I wish they were for sale.

I don't think that is the one I saw, but those are damn cool. I would totally get those if they were for sale.

[dnemec]

Those are cool! I was just looking for some type of display case. A shadow box and some well-placed pins could work, but then you have the tags... I need to go to Hobby Lobby and think about this.

These are acrylic display boxes and can be ordered online :)

They come in different sizes and colors and the only 'problem' is that you have to buy 100 of them if you purchase directly from the manufacturer. I'm sure that if you do some digging on the internet you'll find stores that sell them per piece or in smaller quantities. I've been on the fence myself about purchasing these for my keys, one of the cons is that it'll take quite a lot of shelf space to display them. One of the pros is that you can admire a key in all it's glory and that's really nice if you include the tags in the frame so you can see the signatures on the back as well.

I too have a collection of Locke & Key keys and have struggled with a way to display them. While I love the fiberglass display boxes with the cool art, I purchased a 21" tall x 17" wide frame from Hobby Lobby sold with soft batting and it is perfect for the keys.

Story of my life Dez... always an hour behind you, even if we are in the same time zone! Order placed. :)

[ELazansky]

I'm done with the keys...the point of the keys was that they tied to the Locke and Key series. I don't want a NOS4A2 key. Now it is just a money grab...

[asted2113]

Does anyone know how many total keys there are?
Is there a list somewhere?

[Cwalker]

I really like the idea of the keys but found them waaaay to late to make it worth collecting them from the Locke & Key aspect, but the NOS4A2 key will go nicely with the coffee mug they offered awhile ago. I think one-off items from his other writings I could probably keep up with.

[dnemec]

I feel the same way. I don't have any desire to try to find all these keys (and despite the suggestions, I still have no idea how I'm going to display them), but I like the idea of the Christmasland one. Perhaps it can be used as the stirrer for my Christmasland mug...

[Lurker]

I don't collect keys or Joe Hill really, so I don't know how big the keys are, but these frames might work for showing a few at a time. At least they aren't sold in lots of 100...

Just read the Tales from Darkside comic and thought it was awesome! Very bummed it never got made. I'm slowing going through the show which is not really that good. The TZ 80s reboot has some excellent episodes but I think Darkside was as a whole kind of of a waste. I'm sure money had to do with it so it would have been nice to see this remade with some dough and better stories.
Is the screenplay book different stories or the same as the comic?

I'm pretty sure the script book was for the shows that were planned and the comics were based off of those planned shows. I have it but haven't read through it as it's my collection copy. I liked the first in the series but believe it fell short on the last issue. I would have liked to see it continued on as a comic at least. I too believe it could have been a good TV series.

I don't know why people hate on the Strain. I like the show and the books. The show certainly has high production value and great effects. It has been one of the fresher Horror takes on TV recently, imo. The story is a little formulaic but not bad. it's just a little pulpy.

Good news about Joe's tour. Hopefully he makes Toronto one of his stops. I believe last time he was here was at the Fan Expo and there's just no way I'm going to that.

Know for a fact that Joe's coming to the UK to promote Strange Weather as well in November, no details yet but count me in :) and he's also one of the authors at Gollanczfest on 4 + 5 November

I know I do not like the Strain tv show bc it is horribly acted, the doctor woman is one of the worst actresses ever and it has walking dead syndrom where there are epsiodes where literally nothing happens. With so much good stuff to watch and read I can't abide by that anymore.

I finally came up with a way of displaying my Locke & Hill keys. The shadow box is 8 x 10". I even took the time to spray paint the pins black (Hobby Lobby had no black pins) so they wouldn't stand out. I'm fairly pleased. I just can't buy anymore keys now!

Any Ed Brubaker fans? I was just reading Criminal and the story arc The Sinners Part 1 has a crooked cop that hangs out in strip clubs and whorehouses and basically is in the strip for about 5 pages before he gets killed - the funny thing is the cop is named Hill, Joe Hill. And the first picture of him bears a striking resemblance to Joe too - wearing his glasses. Anyway - was interested if anyone had any thoughts on this. I get Ed's newsletters and he invites questions - and answers them eventually. So I posed this question to him - and if I get any response I will add it here as well.

Can't speak to the poster but I had him sign the Creepshow DVD the last time I saw him and he had no issue signing it. He does not sign it as Joe Hill though. The signature is his full initials JHK.

Not disputing that at all as I have no knowledge r.e. this publisher and the manner in which they indicate printings, but I am curious why a publisher would indicate 2018 and 2019 when they've yet to occur...I've never seen that before, copyrighting/indicating a year that's yet to happen.

I have seen 10 8 6 4 2 1 3 5 7 9 (and similar) which is still a first printing because of the presence of the "1"...but the 10 and 8 and etc. really have no true relevance in the scheme of things.

I have seen this: 75 76 77 78 79 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2...this number line below identifies a second printing printed in 1975. But obviously yours isn't a 4th printing from 2019, so...?

Publishers sure keep things interesting for us collectors, don't they? ;-)

Thoughts? I'm not even sure if there was more than one printing.

The left hand numbers represent the years 2019-2016

Not disputing that at all as I have no knowledge r.e. this publisher and the manner in which they indicate printings, but I am curious why a publisher would indicate 2018 and 2019 when they've yet to occur...I've never seen that before, copyrighting/indicating a year that's yet to happen.

I have seen 10 8 6 4 2 1 3 5 7 9 (and similar) which is still a first printing because of the presence of the "1"...but the 10 and 8 and etc. really have no true relevance in the scheme of things.

I have seen this: 75 76 77 78 79 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2...this number line below identifies a second printing printed in 1975. But obviously yours isn't a 4th printing from 2019, so...?

Publishers sure keep things interesting for us collectors, don't they? ;-)

Numberlines, or Printer's keys, came into being as a way to standardize identification of the number of printings.

Publishers can use a numberline or not, and they can do so however they like, so there really is no standard, but it was worse before.

Most use the numbers 1-10 in some arrangement. Some include dates.

They could, of course, just print the number "1" or "9" to represent the first or ninth printing. The reason they do it this way is that the page setup for the printer only requires the removal of one number. That is the easiest and cheapest way to do it by far.

And that number line is pretty much SOP from what I've seen from IDW.

Does anyone know if Joe will sign a Creepshow poster or does that "irritate" him?
I've only met him once and had The Fireman signed at that time. He'll be at Boston Comic Con in August and I'd like to get a Creepshow print signed. I have all the S/L's out there plus a bunch of other signed stuff from Water Street. I don't need a book signed. But I also don't want to piss him off. Lol

P.S. Ditto Brian :)

:thumbsup: I thought maybe it was up thread that he wouldn't sign Creepshow the book. I haven't met the guy but he seems like he'd politely decline if he didn't care for it.
Yeah, I don't think he would be rude. Especially after people asking him to sign the book and one of his Mom's books? :confused: At least he was actually IN the movie!

Can't speak to the poster but I had him sign the Creepshow DVD the last time I saw him and he had no issue signing it. He does not sign it as Joe Hill though. The signature is his full initials JHK.
Thank you! I think I'll give it a shot and I would love a different signature with his real last name. That would be cool. BCC isn't until August so I'll let ya'll know what happens :-D

[surly]

A while back I was able to attend a signing Joe did to promote HORNS. When it was my turn in line I asked if he would mind signing my copy with his full name. He just smiled and said he would rather not because (Joe Hill) was his full name.
Would be kinda cool to have a JHK signature; hope you have better luck.

[Beverly Marsh]

Well hell, after all that he postponed his appearance at BCC. Sigh. Maybe I will bring a poster to the inevitable Strange Weather tour :evil:

On AMC that would mean 1.5 hours in commercials and .5 movie. AMC does some good stuff but the commercials are relentless. Absent a DVR, I would never watch anything they air.

Has anyone heard back from Borderland Press regarding the "Little Silver Book of...".
We were supposed to be able to pay for it last month but the website was pooched. The last thing I saw mentioned trying again in a couple of weeks. Anyone have any other info?

This is the reply I got from them when I reached out. I interpreted that as I should get a real notification to pay on or around June 9th.

"yes, we know we have a glitch in the website software. We will be working on it all weekend. The book is delayed until June the 9th and that may be the issue. Your pre-order is safe. We do not collect payment until a title is ready to ship. We will invoice you when ready to ship

if you still wish to pay in advance, you can use the paypal Send Money option to sales@borderlandspress.com

Thanks for your patience and understanding

I received the same reply from them when I was unable to pay for my order. We'll know in a couple of days when they'll send out their newsletter or invoices :)

Thanks all! I knew I tucked a couple of $20's in the back of my wallet for a reason. :)

[surly]

this is one i have been working on for a while.
it seems that i am one of the few that not only quite enjoyed THE FIREMAN, but didn't really mind the PS limited. although i agree that they made some odd design choices, i feel the artwork more than made up for any shortfalls. i was not familiar with David Stoupakis before this project, but when he was announced as the artist i started to follow him on social media and when he started to post teases of what he was working on for the book, i realized i really wanted one of these. once it was published i was able to work out a deal to get the original work that was used for the wraparound illustration on the slip case. this was one of the works that he posted the progress of on instagram:
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab21/surly_pics/hill/Screenshot_2017-01-30-22-13-59_zpsvgwa2zht.png~original (http://s846.photobucket.com/user/surly_pics/media/hill/Screenshot_2017-01-30-22-13-59_zpsvgwa2zht.png.html)


the work is an oil on board and is roughly 12 x 24. here is a detail - i think the way he makes the flames come alive is pretty amazing:

The Penultimate Little Book in Series II will be shipping soon!
The Little Silver Book of Sharp Shiny Slivers collects some of Joe Hill's most off-beat writing. Here he reflects on the end of the world, explains why horror fiction matters, and offers up his own rules for writing. The author encounters one of literature's lesser known talking birds and checks in on the heroes of Heart-Shaped Box. All this and his very first published essay as Joe Hill, only recently rediscovered (it's good!).


Signed by the author, numbered and limited to 500 copies




(If you did not pre-order this title, we apologize for the intrusion, but utilizing our newlstter mailing is the most efficient way to reach our customers)

The first copies of the Strange Weather ARE are appearing on Ebay for those who are interested. Has anyone seen or know if William Morrow also created uncorrected proof copies like they did with Joe's previous three books?

At $80 I think I will just wait until the actual book is released.
