I'm not really huge fan of short stories, but 20th Century Ghosts is still my favorite Hill. I love it. Did you make it to Pop Art yet? If not skip ahead and read that one at least.Originally Posted by bdwyer19
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 second The Cape, very good!
I did not know that! Thanks for the info!
I'll "carefully" crack it open one of these days when I have time read it. I loved the book, so really looking forward to reading Wraith. Again, thanks!

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:

Awesome! I wonder if these inserts will end up on eBay.
if you photo them right they look like the books and if you are vague in your description you may get someone to purchase them

It still throws me off with volume 4 being white. My OCD is driven crazy by it.
It really does stand out being white

Great looking slipcase for that edition!
I like the art but I would have personally preferred the title with the art being embossed (like the traycase design). I'm still happy that there's a slipcase regardless though.

He had me right up till the end, but now I want my money back. Haha.
Interesting idea, just thought the end was totally lame.
I think the end was meant as a joke. Like they are trying to lure more people in
I kind of thought that too, which is cool, but it's still a little wishy washy?
have they been shipped? i never got mine yet!Here's the NOS4A2 S/L slipcase:
They're going to start shipping after they're done with Pet Sematary.

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.
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.
