Yeah, I tell you, I've had a tough time deciding what my favorite Hill novel is. NOS4A2 was #1 for me until I read Horns. But I can't choose which one, although Horns is really special. In terms of short stories, in general, I much prefer novels to short stories, although I must say that Pop Art is fantastic.
Thanks, will check that out.Is this the one you are looking for?That is the only full length book that i loved of Joe hills! can someone point me to the wired article with Joe Hill. searching at work......
I told Paul to read the article it puts an interesting spin on my favorite book!!!

About $70-80? Maybe a touch more if it has a doodle?Cheers thank you!I would agree - I was thinking 50-70. Let's be honest, there are a LOT of signed Hill books out there. You had the publisher signed copies, then all of the ones he signed on that tour, then all of the ones people brought to him to sign on this tour, etc. We've always joked that the true rarity is the unsigned first printing
Tonight was the final stop on The Fireman Tour in South Portland, ME. Joe was a little late starting as he had an interview with our local NBC affiliate for a local show called "207". I will see if I can find out when it may air and if it will be available on line.
It went as most of the other events have but with the added bonus of Michael Koryta (crime and suspense author) and Izzy Skelton (Skelton Crew) being in the audience. koryta was brought up for the kazoo portion.
During the Q&A I was able to ask him a question. After pointing out that between he and his father they have made it very clear that any society that drinks Nozz-ola soda is prerty much boned, I asked if he had any concerens about including specific Dark Tower mythology into his novels. He said that he thought that he had reached a point in his life that since he had included so many of the other influences in his life into his writing, it felt natural to honor his fathers influence that way.
During the signing portion he recognized me from some of the other events and said I must be getting bored hearing all the same stories. I assured him that was not the case.. As he signed my 10th Anniversary 20th CG and my Smoke and Mirrors he said he had thought of reading a passage from Snapshot: 1980 (?) but that he couldn't find one that he felt would stand alone well enough.
Now, all this talking is happening with a pretty long line still behind me, and I realized that he was taking extra time to do a doodle in the Fireman that I was having done for Brian861. Okay, if he isn't in a hurry that's fine with me. I then asked if he had any information concerning the limited Fireman tha PS has been teasing us with. He said he thought it would be out this fall, perhaps late September and that he had seen most of the art and it was "friggin' amazing".
And yes Brian, I got your book signed and indeed, he took the time to do a doodle. It's one I haven't personally seen before, one of a pheonix, all in flames. I'm actually pretty goddam jealous.
All in all a nice end to the tour.
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
Joe posted that doodle on Twitter recently and stated that 'End of the tour and I finally have a good doodle!' I am definitely jealous as it was an awesome doodle.Tonight was the final stop on The Fireman Tour in South Portland, ME.

I believe the "Snapshot: 1980" (I think it's Backshot) is the novella that is being released by CD as part of a double issue magazine.Tonight was the final stop on The Fireman Tour in South Portland, ME.

It is also going to be included in his next book, a collection of four novellas called "Strange Weather". I am pretty sure about the Snapshot part of the title but as i was typing I threw a rod and couldn't remember the year used in the title.I believe the "Snapshot: 1980" (I think it's Backshot) is the novella that is being released by CD as part of a double issue magazine.

You are correct. From CD: Snapshot, 1988It is also going to be included in his next book, a collection of four novellas called "Strange Weather".

Wow, Chris! First off, glad you had such a great experience and Joe took the extra time to chat you up. That's beyond cool! Secondly, I can't thank you enough for making the time and effort to get this done for me! So stoked to hear of the awesome doodle. Can't wait to see it. What makes it even more incredible is that the Phoenix has always had a special meaning to me. I fell in love with the image the first time The Bandit rolled the Trans Am out the back of that tractor-trailer. Later in life, I owned a '96 Trans Am; no Phoenix on the hood though. And my ebay user name is phoenixdown96 after that car. I feel like I just hit the lottery this early morning when I read this. And to top it off, yesterday afternoon, I received my signed UK copy from Alan!Tonight was the final stop on The Fireman Tour in South Portland, ME.

I don't like to get too personal here because I feel it's really not the place. Even though I've still been able to make small book purchases, the last year has been really rough due to a lay off. So Alan and Chris, what you guys have done for me with these signings, I can't put into words the joy or appreciation I'm feeling right now. I believe David (Betts) had on his home page awhile back about how far a kind gesture or word can go. He was spot on and you guys delivered in a big way. Demonstrating complete selflessness in fore filling a fellow forum members request. I guy you both don't even know outside of what is seen and read here. Yes, Joe signs a ton of books and other things and it might not be that big of a deal outside of our little circle. But it's a huge deal to me. And in the end, that's all that matters. If there ever is anything I can do for you guys, please, don't hesitate to ask. I'm forever indebted to you both. Thanks again, guys! You truly

Didn't get any opinions over on the Other Collectable Authors thread so I thought I'd hit you guys for here. A good friend/mentor/fellow collector is looking to sell me his Joe Hill collection so I wanted to get your guys opinion on valuations. He's always done right by me but still I figure it doesn't hurt to double check. Thanks!

You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Pics of that phoenix doodle would be much appreciated!
I can take a pic before I box it up, and if Brian dosen't mind I'll post it here in this thread.

Go for it!I can take a pic before I box it up, and if Brian dosen't mind I'll post it here in this thread.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
so with Brian's permission I present to you the Phoenix Doodle...
Spoiler:
yeah, the more I think about it the more I want one myself.....
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
That is just wonderful -- congratulations, Brian! Great doodle -- big and bold with optimal placement...looks fantastic.
Cool doodle!
Love the unique doodle!!!
Thanks for the spoiler wrap, Chris! I asked Chris to do that for me because I wanted to wait and see it when the book arrives.so with Brian's permission I present to you the Phoenix Doodle...
Spoiler:
yeah, the more I think about it the more I want one myself.....
Thanks, Ron! But honestly I cannot take any credit for this. If not for Chris, this would have never happened. When I reached out with an inscription request, Chris responded and said if he could get to both NE events, he'd get one for me. Chris was able to make both events and the stars lined up perfectly with the added doodle. I sweet bonus way beyond my standard request.
Judging from the responses, looks like I'm in for a real treat! Has Chris just become our go to guy for all things Joe?! He oblivious has a rapport with the man

I think Joe posted on Instagram about that doodle or one similar to it.
