1428 Elm: Right, I was looking at the website, that looks really interesting.

Joe Hill : Yeah, I’m definitely excited, they come out as individual issues, so comic book fans know about them, which is a whole different readership in book stores. I’m excited for the collection of hard covers to get to book stores. I’m working on a new novel, which is going really good. It’s another beast, I can tell it’s gonna be another of these Fireman size books. Sooner or later I’ll learn how to write a short novel.

1428 Elm: No, I love a big book! I’m a very fast reader, so I like something to keep me entertained for a long time.

Joe Hill : This one is definitely going to be a doorstop, like NOS4A2. That’s going really well, and then my soul brother Gabriel Rodriguez and I have returned to the world of Locke & Key, and we’re doing more Locke & Key comics, and the storyline we’re working on now leads into a Locke & Key and Sandman universe crossover, and that’ll be coming out over the next year.

1428 Elm: That all sounds great. Thank you so much for your time, now I can check one item off my bucket list.

Joe Hill: Thanks for talking with me, this was fun.
