Joe Hill’s next novel isn’t out yet but you can own your very own advanced copy 3 months before everyone else. Joe is auctioning one off to help a bookstore keep its doors open. Here is what Mr Hill says on his site. “Finally, I’m putting a signed Advance Reader’s Copy of NOS4A2 up on eBay to raise money for Cambridge book paradise Lorem Ipsum. NOS4A2 is my next novel, the story of a bad man with a bad car. It’s due out at the end of April… here’s your chance to get it almost 3 months before anyone. Auction details here. If you have a chance to help out a bookstore in need, I know they’ll appreciate it – and so will I. Thanks.”
In NOS4A2 Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.
Joe really loves Lorem Ipsum in Cambridge. How do I know this you ask? Because he is also auctioning off 2 luxury Subterranean Press editions of Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft and Locke & Key: Head Games as well as a hardcover copy of He Is Legend.
He Is Legend is an anthology honoring horror/SF titan Richard Matheson. The book includes the brilliant short story, “Throttle” that Joe collaborated on with his Dad Stephen King. The book will come signed by the both authors.
