Sweets for the sweet!!!!As yet I have only read Heart Shaped Box. I presume I have more treats to look forward to.........?
Haven't read everything else, but I enjoyed 20th Century Ghosts (the short story collection). I recently read it again.
Heart-Shaped Box didn't really do it for me. Seemed like the same nothing kept happening in different settings.
I need to try Horns again. I know I finished it, but don't remember much. I was probably heavy in the sauce the first time through.
I should add that I have not read this yet, but will be doing so soon.New Joe Hill short story available in eBook format, for those of us who are into that sort of thing:

Have read them all and so far NOS4A2 is my favorite.
Dean never lived in an orphanage. He did however have an alcoholic abusive father. If he really was his true father- Dean questions his parentage on his father's side but never did a DNA test to find out for sure. His 'father' was clinically insane at the end of his life, even tried to kill Dean at one point.I DON'T like NOS4A2. I don't understand the little "cross-promotion" thing in Dr. Sleep about Charlie Manx either. It's not for lack of trying to understand it either. I simply can find no good reason or any reason period - good, bad or otherwise - that he needed to do a tiny little cross-promotion of his son's book and character at the beginning of Dr. Sleep. I mean they want you to believe the two are NOT inextricably linked to each others work so one does a cross-promotion of the other? I'm sorry. It makes no sense.
I also dislike his characters and can find no way to relate to them. I think it's for the same reason I had difficulty relating to Stephen King's characters in the beginning; our lives are too fundamentally different for there to be much crossover.
I like Dean Koontz because even though he handles his issues differently, he at least has experienced similar things to me. I had violence in my family too. I lived in an orphanage for a few years too. I don't know if Dean Koontz did, but what he wrote convinced me that if not him, he knew someone who did.
...I mean they want you to believe the two are NOT inextricably linked to each others work so one does a cross-promotion of the other? I'm sorry. It makes no sense.
When did they SAY it? It's been the whole purpose of Joe Hill to put everyone through a 'fool you and not say I'm related to Stephen King' ordeal. In fact, he went years without saying a damn WORD about it, and beyond that I'm way too upset to talk.When did either JH or SK ever say that? Conversely, Joe did state in interviews for NOS4A2 that he purposely made little references to his dad's works throughout the book.
