That's very nice of you, Richard!

Hi I am reading my first Joe Hill book (The fireman). Only about 260 pages or so into it. I haven't read any of this thread, because it is so long, but just had a quick question and apologize if it has been asked/answered/discussed already.

There is a character in the book named Harold Cross. I am wondering if this character is an homage to Harold Lauder and Nadine Cross from The Stand.

Thanks,
Mike

I have a lettered Thumbprint for sale in tray-case. any offers welcome.

No idea on the reference but do have to say don't judge Joe on that book. It's by far his worst so if you like it, it only goes up from there and if you don't then give Horns a try before you give up on him

I have Horns by Suntup Limited for sale - $750. Please let me know if you have interest or if you have anything to trade for whats in my signature.

It's intentional. Hill by his own admission dropped a number of Stand references. For example the deaf kid is named Nick, a reference to Nick Andros.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. I will be on the lookout for more references.

yeah I heard that he took The Stand characters and blended them all up and reserved them. I think it's a cool concept but I was told to not start with The Fireman because no one seemed to like it. I'm reading HORNS now and loving it.

I liked The Fireman. I agree it isn't his best though.

Completely agree with Josh here. If you never read The Fireman, you'd be none the worse for it.

Compared to all of his other writing, the comics, novels, novellas, short stories and even his forwards/introductions, The Fireman is shockingly bad, like from a different author.
I chalk it up to a bad at bat and no more, there are 3 stories in a row in Full Throttle that are truly amazing
Faun>Late Returns>All I Care About is You

If anyone interested in the SubPress Locke and Key limited books - send me a PM - I have all 4 - perfect condition. Books 1/3/4 - #122 and book 2 - #131 (they all add up to 5 :smile:)- $1050 for all 4 shipped in the US (will split overseas shipping)
PM if interested or any offers

Am I the only one that loved The Fireman? I think it's actually my favorite of his.

"A copy?" I have at least six copies. Strangely enough, every one is signed. :orely:

I thoroughly enjoyed The Fireman. My favorite Hill novel is Heart Shaped Box, Horns and The Fireman fall in line behind that one for me.

NOS4A2 is my favorite, still gotta read The Fireman.

Loved NOS4A2 as well.

I posted this on FB on the Joe Hill Fan Club page, but I figure someone here might be able to help too...

I've been looking into the two different S/L editions of NOS4A2 to determine which one I eventually want to buy. I was hoping you could clear some things up for me...

- The SubPress edition has illustrations by Gabriel Rodriguez; are these illustrations also in the IDW edition?

- The SubPress edition includes Wraith. Is this the prose story that the IDW prequel comic is based on? If so, is that story available anywhere else?

- Which of the two editions would you recommend?

In short, I want as many illustrations and as much of the prose as possible. As far as I can tell, that means NOS4A2 (the novel), Wraith (the prose story) and Wraith: Welcome to Christmasland (the graphic novel). Am I missing anything?

Thanks!
