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.

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.
