  • The Fireman Is the Story of an Incurable Runaway Pathogen That Causes Death by Spontaneous Combustion, and One Young Woman's A
    Q & A with Joe Hill about his new novel, THE FIREMAN Please give a one-sentence description of your novel. The Fireman is the story of an incurable runaway pathogen that causes death by spontaneous combustion, and one young woman’s attempt to carry on after being infected. What inspired your novel? Some men just want to watch the world burn. What other writers and/or novels might you compare your work to? All my books are, to a degree, conversations with my influences. I’ve joked that The Fireman is really just The Stand, soaked in gasoline and set on fire. But structurally, it owes a lot to the Harry Potter novels. And because my heroine, Harper Grayson née Willowes, is a bit obsessive about Julie Andrews, the book also operates in the shadow of a certain well-known English nanny. In some ways, though, the book is also a reaction to the recent glut of end-of-the-world fiction. The Fireman has a cheerfully anti-apocalyptic streak. Londoners carried on publishing books, planting flowers, and doing crosswords during the Blitz. Humans are surprisingly determined to continue thinking, arguing, puzzling, loving, teaching, and learning, even when there’s a building burning on every other street corner. What kind of readers do you think will enjoy your book? I’m confident The Fireman will be beloved by men and women of all ages, but especially by children, the elderly, and people between the ages of 18 and 69. It may be of special interest to people who have been incarcerated for arson.

  • Newsletter | October 2019 Terrifying Tales for Halloween
    Newsletter | October 2019 Terrifying Tales for Halloween You don’t have to look far to see that American pop culture is experiencing something of a horror renaissance. Recent hits at the box office include IT, Midsommar, Pet Sematary, Us and Halloween 2018, while the small screen has people flocking to Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Bird Box, American Horror Story, and The Haunting of Hill House. Naturally, the trend reaches into the book world and with Halloween right around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to dip into some darker tales. Below, we’ll explore some of the biggest releases of the season that could take you anywhere from goosebumps to night terrors. Horrifically Big Releases Horror has a tradition of releasing big, wrist-straining doorstoppers that often become classics. These are stories with intricate, comprehensive worldbuilding and intensive character development. Think of The Stand by horror master Stephen King, The Passage by Justin Cronin, or The Fireman by Joe Hill. 2019 has its share of horrifically big releases: one from the sci-fi world, one from a name you won’t find surprising, and one that you probably will… • Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky (Find the book in our catalog here) If the name Stephen Chbosky sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve read his 20 year-old YA classic The Perks of Being a Wallflower. (Or maybe you saw the movie, starring Emma Watson.) The author hasn’t published anything since 1999, so this 720 page horror novel has a lot of readers excited and intrigued.
