NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Only 100 pages into this 600+ page book, but dang it is good! Been a fan of Joe Hill since I started his comic book series "Locke and Key" a few years ago (two big thumbs up for that), he can write a fine novel as well.
Horror themed. Concerns people who have strange powers, some who use them for good and another, the villain, who does not.

Re: NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Went to college and actually took a couple of writing classes with Joe Hill when he was going by his real last name, also four letters. He's got a pretty famous writer daddy...he's a good dude. Was a good writer back then, too...good storyteller.

Him and his Dad have done some collaborative fiction, but I can't give an opinion on it.
That's great you got to take some classes with him. If you're a writer too, power to you -- I chickened out of an English degree in college. But I love reading and the art of writing.

That's right...forgot about that. I did read a story they wrote together in Esquire last year...it was gross but decent.
Lol.. English major and a shitcanned novel here. Writing is lonely and wonderful.

Right on! I'm sorry you haven't got a book out yet, but fuck that's a hard thing to do. I read Steven King's "On Writing" along with a few other books on the subject and it seems you have to just soldier on daily to succeed. Best of luck.

Finished it, full on page turner -- creepy, vivid, reconfirms my belief that nearly all adult fiction is just awful rapes and murders, blah.
Would make a fantastic movie, some of the images the writer describes would look awesome on a big screen.
