Really glad to hear you enjoyed this one. I sent it and one of the others to a friend as a Christmas gift. I’m hoping he enjoys them at least as much as you have. This also reminds me I want to try Heart-Shaped Box one of these days, and perhaps NOS4A2.

Did you get the chance to read it before gifting it?! 😛 I look forward to sharing my thoughts on the other 4 series though. They look fun b but I’m lowering my expectations for the non-Hill stories hahah

No, I had it shipped directly to him, so I didn’t get a chance to see them. I was of the same mind, I only picked Hill’s work. Granted, I wasn’t a big fan of Horns, either the book or the movie, but I did enjoy Locke & Key and I think he enjoyed that one also. I think Plunge was the other one I sent.

“Verbose” is a word that always springs to mind when I think of Hill and, especially, his father 😉. I enjoyed reading Hill’s “20th Century Ghosts”, “Heart-Shaped Box”, but I DNF’d “NOS4A2”. I’m not a fan of over-writing in comic books, but you’ve made this sound very tempting. I enjoyed Hill’s comic series “Plunge” but I haven’t read this title. Nice review, Lashaan.

Is there any particular reason that made you DNF “NOS4A2”? 😮 I’ve yet to read any novel by Joe Hill but his comic books have been working great for me so far, especially Locke & Key and this one hahah Thanks for reading, Wakizashi!

Completely forgot about Locke & Key. I’ve only read the first volume of that one. It didn’t blow me away. With NOS4A2, I got halfway through it and lost interest. I was going to pick it up again but never did.

I know I’ve talked about this before, but Hill lost any chance of connecting with me because of the movie Horns. I didn’t like Radcliffe in it, I didn’t like the story line and I didn’t like just about everything to do with it, hahahaa. So Hill’s name is now inextricably linked to that level of dislike. I’m not even sure it is overcome-able….

Hahahaha too funny how they get “one strike and you’re out” treatment! 😛 I have no idea how Horns is, yet, but look forward to giving it a try in the future, book and movie, hopefully, my experience won’t be as bad as yours hahah 😀

Cool review, as always – seems that you had a bit of fun with this one, Lashaan!
I’m not a great fan of horrors, especially verbose horrors 😜 but I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! Have fun with the rest of the series! 😉

I usually prefer the more “psychological” and “thought-provoking” kind of horror but find these kinds of stories fun here and then when done properly hahah Thanks for reading, Ola! 😀

I thought it had an 80s horror flick vibe and had a lot of dark humor laced into the terror.

The five-run series is uneven, with Plunge being my favorite

Good for Joe Hill! I know I really liked some of the Locke and Key stuff. So cool how a son of a legendary author can do killer comic books. 🤠

It’s indeed pretty cool that he has made a name for himself without riding on his father’s success. In fact, I find that Basketful of Heads does give a little nod to King’s Creepshow book’s artwork! Pretty cool. 😀

The coloring inside seems off to me, but I do like the cover.

It has a very “dimmed down” tone but also very reminiscent of Joe Hill’s father Stephen King’s Creepshow though. 😀
