The new book,\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em><\/strong>, is out in U.S. bookstores, everywhere, on October 24th, but that’s too long for me to wait… my tour starts a week earlier!<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can catch me online on the night of the 18th, when I’ll be signing books, answering questions, and hanging out with the amazing\u00a0Paul Tremblay<\/a>, author of\u00a0Head Full of Ghosts\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Disappearance at Devil Rock<\/em>. It’s all courtesy of\u00a0Premiere Collectables<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0livesigning.com<\/a>. We’re going to have fun and I hope you’ll be part of it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Next up I’ll be at the\u00a03rd Annual Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival<\/a>\u00a0at the Haverhill Public Library, on the 21st. Horror greatChristopher Golden<\/a>, the novelist behind\u00a0Ararat<\/em>, will be interviewing me about\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em>\u00a0at 1:30PM. The bookselling heroes from the Andover Bookstore will have advance copies of\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em>\u00a0on hand, which I’d be delighted to sign for you.<\/p>\n

\u2022 On October 23rd, the eve of the book’s release,\u00a0I’ll be at Brookline Booksmith, at 7PM<\/a>, to read, talk, and sign. They’ll have copies there for you, one day before the official drop. Contrary to some early reports, this is\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0a ticketed event and no one will tackle you if you try to walk in (I, however, will tackle you if you try to walk out without buying the book, hahaha, just kidding, maybe).<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Gibson’s Books in Concord, New Hampshire, is next<\/a>. I’m excited to get up there on the 24th for the 7PM reading & signing… it’s been a few years since I’ve been back, and it’s a lovely shop.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Then it’s Maine’s turn to endure my questionable pleasures, when I turn up at the Books-a-Million in Portland on the 25th for a 6PM blabathon and the scribble-session after. Thanks, Books-A-Million for having me in again. It’s always great.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’ll be getting STRANGE on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0— urgh, that doesn’t sound right, does it? — on the 26th of October, when I’ll be broadcasting live from William Morrow’s offices in NYC… straight from their headquarters to your computer! That’s at 4PM. If you’re working, just turn the volume down low and keep an eye out for your supervisor. Don’t let a silly thing like employment ruin your good time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Later that same evening,\u00a0I’m at the Barnes & Noble on the Upper West Side<\/a>, for a crazyass collaborative reading and talk with\u00a0C. Robert Cargill<\/a>. If you don’t know all ready — and you really should — Cargill wrote\u00a0Sea of Rust,\u00a0<\/em>a post-apocalyptic SF novel\u00a0<\/em>that blasts along harder than a War Boy after Max Rockatansky. Won’t you come ride shiny and chrome with us? We’re on at 7PM for a conversation to be moderated by Dennis Boutsikaris (who also happens to be one of the four readers to lend their voices to the\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em>\u00a0audiobook!).<\/p>\n

\u2022 On October 27th, you’ll be able to find me at\u00a0Joseph-Beth’s Books in Lexington, Kentucky, at 7PM<\/a>. The forecast is for\u00a0awesome<\/u>.<\/p>\n

I’m already ashamed of writing that.<\/p>\n

\u2022 And the U.S. tour winds up on the 28th, at the\u00a0West Virginia Book Festival in Charleston<\/a>. I’ve got a panel at 11:30. I imagine a signing will follow after. R.L. Stine is there! And so is Henry Winkler, who, oddly, I have crossed paths with before, at other book festivals. This looks like a good time.<\/p>\n

There’s an upcoming U.K. tour too, which will include my first ever stop in Ireland. You can catch the bare bones on my\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0page, but I’ll flesh out the details soon in an upcoming newsletter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Should we do a letters column, like they have in the back of comic books? I SAY WE SHOULD.<\/p>\n

Send your thoughts, questions, and paranoid conspiracy theories to response@joehillfiction.com. Who knows, it’s always possible I’ll run a portion of your email and a reply of some sort in a future issue of\u00a0Escape Hatch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Emails with attachments — photos, word files, etc. — will be deleted without being opened. I can’t read your unpublished manuscripts, and while I’m sure you’re excited about your naked stuff, I feel like it would be healthier for us both if you kept it to yourself.<\/p>\n

Also, I probably won’t reply by email; if there’s a response, you’ll see it here.<\/p>\n

Speaking of comic books I haven’t forgotten I sort of half promised that I might begin to run a strip in the newsletter. Still thinking on it. Probably in early 2018 if I don’t completely suck (evidence suggests sometimes I do). If I do something like that, I want it to be worth everyone’s time.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Rock and roll is pornography for people with bigger-than-average imaginations. If you got that, you don’t need dirty pictures — a filthy guitar will do just as well. Not that I’m knocking dirty pictures.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

I’m just back from a couple days in Canada, where — as of today — filming has begun on the pilot episode of\u00a0Locke & Key<\/em>, starring Frances O’Connor and Danny Glover, and directed by Andy Muschietti, the absurdly gifted filmmaker behind one of this year’s biggest hIT<\/strong>s. No sooner had I got home then I saw that\u00a0Subterranean Press<\/a>\u00a0has just released the limited edition of\u00a0Keys to the Kingdom<\/em>, featuring the full scripts for every issue. Big thanks to them and IDW for doing these tremendously lovely editions of our comic. And I’ll keep you updated about the show here in the newsletter, as best as I can and to the degree that Hulu will allow.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Water Street Books will continue to take orders for signed copies of\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em><\/a>— but today, October 17th, is the last day you can order from them, and still get your personalized copy on the day of release (or thereabouts… they’ll do their best). Anyone ordering after the 17th may wind up waiting a while to get their copy, as I’ll be on the road.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Hey,\u00a0someone made a really cool\u00a0Strange Weather<\/em>\u00a0inspired list<\/a>, for those of us who like lean and mean stories of fright that can be read in a single sitting. It’s very cool to be mentioned in any context with these great writers — and if you’re looking for All Hallows’ Eve reading recommendations, look no further.<\/p>\n

Is that everything? I think that’s everything. I’ll look for you on the road. Yes, YOU. Who did you think I was talking to?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
