\"\"A Little Silver Book of Sharp Shiny Slivers collects some of Joe Hill\u2019s most off-beat writing. Here he reflects on the end of the world, explains why horror fiction matters, and offers up his own rules for writing. The author encounters one of literature\u2019s lesser known talking birds and checks in on the heroes of Heart-Shaped Box. All this and his very first published essay as Joe Hill, only recently rediscovered (it\u2019s good!)<\/p>\n

Information about edition(s):
\n<\/strong>\u2022 This book is a part of\u00a0Borderland Press ‘little press’ publications (17 cm x 12 cm). Without dustjacket and signed by Joe limited to #500<\/p>\n

The story starts as follows:<\/strong>
\nSome words are propably in order to explain what the hell you just bought.
\nIf this were a toy, the contents listed on the back of the box would read something like: assorted daydreams, arguments, opinions, and enthusiasms. But it\u2019s not a toy, it\u2019s a book, and the term for such a volume is: a miscellany.
\nI am a compulsive reader of such books myself. The good ones are like a platter of those little buttery, flaky, additive pastries they serve at parties; you promise yourself you\u2019ll only have one, and by the time you leave, you\u2019ve got crumbs down the front of your suit jacket and you\u2019ve inhaled about 2,000 calories in the form of tiny nibbles.<\/p>\n

\n

Other information:
\n<\/strong>\u2022 In this book are most of Joe’s nonfiction pieces published.
\n\u2022 It sold out extremely fast due to a number of ‘new fans’ thinking it contained a new story.<\/p>\n
