Well, well, well -- looks whose day has just been made Big Time:
Hi
You are one of the three lucky winners to get a signed copy of The Fireman by Joe Hill. You can decide if you want him to personalize it for you or just sign it. I will need to know by no later than Friday May 13 how you want him to do it. Then he will be signing it later in May and then the book will be shipped to you.
Congratulations!

Some guy keeps knocking on my door. Says his name is Joe Hill and I have some unsigned books in my basement he has to sign. Very weird.
Cool promo item. Hope everyone gets one on the tour stops!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Yeah, I remember the devil horns so I was wondering if there'd be a "Fireman"-themed promo item for this tour. I don't know if I've ever seen the Christmasland mug, though.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
There's a set of Horns on EBay for $99. Lol
FYI: I saw Israel Skelton(as in Skelton Crew)about a month ago at a convention in Bangor and he had some mugs left that he was selling at his booth. They're numbered and I went ahead and bought one. I don't think he sold out as this was a pretty small con. Might not hurt to shoot him an email and see if he has any available......
Thanks -- I did send him an email a while back, and was told it was sold out and none remained. I'm positive I sent it more than a month ago -- maybe close to two months ago -- so not sure why he told me that if he was still actively selling at the time. Oh well, my own fault: I had a chance to pre-order one and I passed...no use crying over spilled milk now.
I'm accepting offers (PayPal or trade) for The Fireman ARC that includes the promo letter. The only fault with this copy is that the back cover was bent either during shipping or packing. PM me with questions or offers.

Thanks,

Joe Hill’s Terrifying Scripts For Tales From The Darkside Collected: Read The Master Writer’s Work Firsthand!
San Diego, CA (May 12th, 2016) – World Fantasy, International Horror Guild, and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Joe Hill turns his attention to a legend—Tales From The Darkside.
Originally planned as a reboot for the storied series, Hill’s scripts for these never-broadcast television episodes allow the New York Times bestselling author to stretch his creative muscles, his effortless mastery of the twisted subject matter injecting new terrors into this silver screen legend.
Joining Hill in resurrecting this classic is Charles Paul Wilson III, known to many Joe Hill fans as the artist responsible for the nightmare vision made real in their most recent collaboration, Wraith, a graphic novel prequel to the Hill’s bestselling book N0S4A2. In Tales From The Darkside, Wilson’s tack-sharp interpretation of Hill’s vision is on display in a series of illustrations accompanying the scripts.
“When I was offered a chance to reinvent Tales from the Darkside, I leapt,” said Hill. “This was a landmark show for my generation: our Twilight Zone, our Outer Limits. Right away, I wanted to do something that honored the spirit of the original Darkside... and at the same time I wanted to go bigger, to do something fresh, something with scope. In the end I wrote three scripts and sketched a vision for a whole Darkside universe. I envisioned a series of individual horror stories that would, ultimately, turn out to be connected by a single mythology. I really wanted to do something with the scale of Locke & Key. TV is tough and in the end we didn't quite make it to the little screen. But it's a delight and a thrill to share the scripts alongside Charles Paul Wilson's beautifully sick illustrations. Here's the show that could've been, now playing in your imagination.”
“Working with Joe and Charles is always a pleasure. I mean, what we create is terrifying—why else would you pair the two together—but the results are never short of exemplary,” said project editor Justin Eisinger. “And this exploration of an alternate TFTD television universe that could have been… well, if you’re a fan of horror anthologies this is one you do not want to miss.”
First created by George A. Romero, Tales From The Darkside offered a grim but compelling anthology-style series. Hill’s scripts for the unaired reboot of the series will debut in the eponymous comic series beginning this June, but fans looking for more raw Hill, this new scriptbook provides a unique glimpse into the creative process, and a look at what could have been.
Look for Tales From The Darkside: Scripts by Joe Hill wherever books are sold this October.

I asked in the wanted thread but figured I would ask here.
Anyone willing to sell me a Uk 1st/1st NOS4R2 in NF+ condition?
Thanks
Here is a great interview and some artwork about this and the series:

Sounds kind of cool. It's a shame there's a lack in anthology shows. Black Mirror is awesome but I need more.
Oh missed this the first read!
"I’ve got another book coming out next year, probably in the fall, called STRANGE WEATHER. It’s going to be a collection of novellas, and three of those novellas will be previously unpublished. Another one of the novellas will be “Snapshot 1988,” and that will appear in this summer’s issue of Cemetery Dance Magazine."
I am going to be at the NYC event on the 18th. Is anyone else here going?
