Reference to The Walking Backwards man in Heart Shaped Box.
I finished NOS4R2 the other day and immediately jumped into Heart Shaped Box. The Walking Backwards Man is mentioned by Manx. I can't remember exactly what he says but he says something about how you (can't remember who) would not want to be caught by the Walking Backwards man. And then he is mentioned in HSBC in chapter 24. Not sure if he will be mentioned again, he was kind mentioned in passing.
That's all, I just thought it was interesting and thought some others might as well.

Questions about Locke & Key
Hi Guys,
Please help with Locke & Key comics. I just finished the last part, but I feel like I missed something.
!In the first book, when the Locke family move into the house, Lucas is already in the well. In the third volume, it is shown that he puts a part of himself in a small bottle so that if anything happens to him, he will still survive. He dies in the past in the third book in the cave, but how does he end up in the well after that? Who will open the glass that closed a part of it?!<
!The other: if Bode's body is cremated, what will the spirit return to?!<
Thank You Guys

Is this a real signature?
Got this signed copy of Horns for Christmas and it has documentation but not a COA, per se. Just wanted to be sure it's a legit JH signa

Currently listening to this fantastic Xmas tale read by Kate Mulgrew. Voyager's Captain does a great job on the narration.

I read his short story Faun and fell in love, what a great idea for a hunting story. Here’s my review

New to Joe Hill
I am new to Joe Hill as I am a big fan of his father. Is there a good complete list of his works somewhere I can get a hold of? Like a checklist of some type? Want to start getting into his books

I read a really good story of his, Dark Carousel, and became one of my favorites. Here’s my review

Gun terminology in Nos4A2
I'm toward the end of this book, and I love it.
BUT, and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, it takes me out of the story a bit every time he refers to the FBIs pistols as automatic. This bothers me because semi auto = one bullet per trigger pull. Automatic means that it will fire as long and you hold the trigger. As far as I know, pistols are generally semi auto, unless illegally molded.
Am I wrong?

Should Nos4A2 be read during Halloween or Christmas?
