Read all three graphic novels based on New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill’s short story “The Cape,” collecting The Cape, The Cape: 1969, and The Cape: Fallen. Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away...but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. The Cape explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric—a confused and broken man—takes to the skies...and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him. The Cape: 1969 goes back in time to the Vietnam War when Eric’s father, Captain Chase, a medevac helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong…but they soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren’t the only terrors hiding in the jungle. In The Cape: Fallen, uncover new folds in Hill’s cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series. This critically acclaimed, Eisner Award–nominated story—written by Jason Ciaramella based on the short story by New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill, with art by Zach Howard and Nelson Dániel—smashes the classic superhero myth and wraps the bloody wreckage in a bright blue shroud: The Cape.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, a chilling tale of modern-world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge as six friends dabble in the occult and are tragically, horrifyingly successful… calling forth an evil entity that demands regular human sacrifice. “A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11 Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library. Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world. But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

Francis was human once, but now he's an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead. Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of '77, when his younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds. The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . . The first collection from #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, 20th Century Ghosts is the inventive and chilling compendium that established this award-winning, critically acclaimed author as "a major player in 21st-century fantastic fiction" (Washington Post).

Die Locke-Geschwister werden nicht nur im Keyhouse auf der Insel Lovecraft mit magischen Schlüsseln, besonderen Türen und der Finsternis konfrontiert, die ihrer Familie aus der Vergangenheit folgt... LOCKE & KEY kommt bald ins TV!

Joe Hill ist ein gefeierter Horror-Bestsellerautor, der Bücher wie Teufelszeug, Blind und Christmasland veröffentlicht hat. Die Sammelbände der LOCKE & KEY MASTER EDITION präsentieren seine innovative und stimmungsvolle Horror-Comic-Saga in großformatigen Hardcovern. Joe Hills neuer Roman Fireman erscheint im Mai auf Deutsch. Die komplette Saga lückenlos in überformatigen Hardcovern.

Eine weltweite Pandemie ist ausgebrochen, und keiner ist davor gefeit: Alle Infizierten zeigen zunächst Markierungen auf der Haut, bevor sie urplötzlich in Flammen aufgehen. Die USA liegt in Schutt und Asche, und inmitten des Chaos versucht die Krankenschwester Harper Grayson, sich und ihr ungeborenes Kind zu schützen. Doch dann zeigt auch sie die ersten Symptome. Jetzt kann sie nur noch der »Fireman« retten – ein geheimnisvoller Fremder, der wie ein Racheengel durch die Straßen New Hampshires wandelt und scheinbar das Feuer kontrollieren kann.

From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Heart-Shaped Box comes a chilling novel about a worldwide pandemic of spontaneous combustion that threatens to reduce civilization to ashes and a band of improbable heroes who battle to save it, led by one powerful and enigmatic man known as the Fireman. The fireman is coming. Stay cool. No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it’s Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies—before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe. Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she’s discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob’s dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is carrying comes to term. At the hospital, she witnessed infected mothers give birth to healthy babies and believes hers will be fine too. . . if she can live long enough to deliver the child. Convinced that his do-gooding wife has made him sick, Jakob becomes unhinged, and eventually abandons her as their placid New England community collapses in terror. The chaos gives rise to ruthless Cremation Squads—armed, self-appointed posses roaming the streets and woods to exterminate those who they believe carry the spore. But Harper isn’t as alone as she fears: a mysterious and compelling stranger she briefly met at the hospital, a man in a dirty yellow fire fighter’s jacket, carrying a hooked iron bar, straddles the abyss between insanity and death. Known as The Fireman, he strolls the ruins of New Hampshire, a madman afflicted with Dragonscale who has learned to control the fire within himself, using it as a shield to protect the hunted . . . and as a weapon to avenge the wronged. In the desperate season to come, as the world burns out of control, Harper must learn the Fireman’s secrets before her life—and that of her unborn child—goes up in smoke.

The legendary songwriter and labor rights activist reveals his personal struggles and political philosophy in this collection of letters. As a proud member of the Industrial Workers of the World, Joe Hill dedicated his life to the union cause. The original bard of the working class, he spread a message of solidarity and struggle through unforgettable, bitingly satirical songs. But after a suspicious arrest and controversial trial, Hill was convicted of murder in 1914. A year later, he was put to death by the capitalist state. In this collection of letters, many of which were written from prison in Salt Lake City, readers get to know the man behind the legendary songs. Hill corresponds with friends and fellow workers, discussing his case, his life, his music, and cheering on the Wobblies even as he faces death. "Joe Hill's influence is everywhere. Without Joe Hill, there's no Woody Guthrie, no Dylan, no Springsteen, no Clash, no Public Enemy, no Minor Threat, no System of a Down, no Rage Against the Machine." —Tom Morello, from the foreword

Ispirato al classico "Due" di Richard Matheson, che Stephen King considera uno dei propri maestri, "Bikers" è un lungo racconto scritto a quattro mani da Stephen King e Joe Hill, due autori che hanno il thriller iscritto nel DNA.

Kinder, wollt ihr ewig leben? Charlie Manx ist ein sehr, sehr böser Mann mit einem sehr, sehr bösen Auto. Er entführt Kinder nach »Christmasland«, wo ewige Weihnacht herrschen soll. Die Kinder erwartet dort jedoch etwas Schreckliches, und es gibt keinen Weg zurück. Mit seinem Meisterwerk moderner Fantastik entführt uns der mehrfach preisgekrönte Bestsellerautor Joe Hill auf einen unvergesslichen Horrortrip. Vicky, für ihren Vater einfach nur »das Gör«, hat die geheime Gabe, Dinge zu finden – verlorenen Schmuck, verlegte Fotos, Antworten auf unbeantwortbare Fragen. Dazu muss sie sich einfach nur auf ihr Fahrrad schwingen. Über die nahe gelegene alte Holzbrücke gelangt sie dann im Handumdrehen, wohin sie will, an all die meilenweit entfernten Orte, wo sich das Verlorene befindet. Der Kleinen ist klar, dass andere (ihre Eltern!) darüber nur ungläubig den Kopf schütteln würden. Sie glaubt es ja selbst nicht richtig. Auch Charlie Manx hat eine spezielle Gabe. Er ist so in Kinder vernarrt, dass er sie gleich dutzendweise kidnappt. Über verborgene Wege bringt er sie in seinem unheimlichen Rolls-Royce nach »Christmasland«, wo er ewige Weihnacht zu feiern verspricht. Und da Vicky immer wieder Ärger anzieht, ist es kein Wunder, dass sich ihre Wege und die von Charlie irgendwann einmal kreuzen. Aber sie ist gewitzt genug, dem Häscher zu entkommen. Das ist jetzt Jahre her, und aus dem einzigen Kind, das Charlie je entwischen konnte, ist eine junge Frau geworden, die am liebsten alles vergessen würde. Nur dass Charlie niemand ist, der etwas vergisst. Eines Tages nimmt er Vicky das Wichtigste in ihrem Leben. Kann sie es wiederfinden? Ein gnadenloser Kampf entbrennt, und Vicky will nur eines: Charlie endgültig vernichten ...
