The
family ties between Stephen King and
Joe Hill lost their importance a long
time ago and hold no relevance what so ever when it comes to the fiction
written by Joe Hill. It is just a biographical detail and nothing more. It
cannot be otherwise since Joe Hill is a very powerful writer, talented and
brimming with imagination, and he proved that with the short stories collection
“20th Century Ghosts”,
the novels “Heart-Shaped Box” and “Horns” and the graphic novels “Locke & Key”, “The Cape” and “Road Rage”.
Last month a new novel signed by Joe Hill was released in the US by William
Morrow as “NOS4A2” and in the UK by
Gollancz as “NOS4R2”. “NOS4R2” is
one of my most anticipated novels of 2013 and I am little jealous on those who
will be able to attend a book launch such as the one that will take place in
Edinburgh on May, 31st. Especially when a signed copy could be
involved.
Don't miss the opportunity
to see horror writer Joe Hill at The Pleasance Theatre for the only Scottish
launch of Joe Hill's new book NOS4R2.
He will be taking part in a Q&A (hosted by Jim Mcleod, the editor of Ginger Nuts of Horror) as well as taking questions from the audience. Joe will also be reading an extract from his new book and signing for fans. For those who can't make it we are taking pre-paid orders for signed copies.
Joe Hill is the author of novels Heart-Shaped Box, Horns and 20th Century Ghosts which were all well received by horror fiction fans. Horns is currently being made into a movie starting Daniel Radcliffe and his graphic novels The Cape, Road Rage and the award-winning Locke & Key have had fans enthralled. NOS4R2 has now secured Hill's place as top of his generation in the world of horror and supernatural fiction.
The event takes place on Friday 31st May 2013 at 6:30pm at the Pleasance Theatre.

I would have loved to take
part on this event, but for the time being this is extremely difficult to achieve.
Well, to lift my spirit I will feature this video presentation of “NOS4R2” made
by Joe Hill himself.
