What's the only thing that could make The Walking Dead better this upcoming season or next?   A.) An episode written by the writing duo King/Hill.  Now I ask, who else knows dead better?  Ms. Mod of the SKMB still writes that the reports are only speculation at this point.

Question of the Day #21: Have you read any books written by Joe Hill, Owen King, or Tabitha King?

The books that I have read were written by Joe Hill. Heart-Shaped Box, and 20th Century Ghosts.  My understanding is that Stephen King's wife Tabitha King is also an accomplished author.  For a list of novels written by Tabitha King visit Wikipedia. She has also submitted photos that are placed on the flaps of some of SK's books.  I have yet to read any of her books but at some point I plan to read of some of them.  Owen King has authored  We're All In This Together: A Novella and Stories and his work has also appeared in various newspapers and magazines.

Joe Hill's got Horns

Check the interview widget down the right side of this page.  Interview with Joe Hill about his new book Horns.  The reviews have been great for this book.  Could this be  another Bram Stoker award?  Go Joe!

Want a DARK novel to read for Valentine's Day?

Joe Hill, Stephen King's son, wrote a book that was published a few years back about a guy named Judas Coyne. Judas is a mature rocker that is a collector of macabre items. When he gets an email to add one more dark item to his ever-growing collection he can't resist the temptation.  Heart-Shaped Box speeds through to the climax.  Rock, goth, fear and death for the masses, good job Joe.
