Joe Hill mention his upcoming book Hunger in his last info mail and now it looks like it will be released in June 2027:
When is that novel coming out? It was May. Then it was September. Looks like now it’s going to be June 2027. The game of trying to find the right week to release isn’t limited to publishing… this exact same thing happened with the release of the first Black Phone movie. The ball dings around the roulette wheel, catching here, and then there, before finally settling into its proper socket. For what it’s worth, I think we’re sticking at June.
He also mention that he's finishing up a spooky story, he won't say much about it yet though...
I’m finishing up a spooky story of my own, but I won’t say anything about it. You don’t start boasting about the fish you’ve caught before you’ve reeled it in. Hopefully I’ll get it done before I slip out of here for London. Maybe I better get back to it.
In the printer version of the Locus interview King mentions an idea for a Haunted House story…
"It's interesting'; that's the curse of the writing class: This thing is interesting, that thing is interesting, and you gotta do it. I get offered a lot of things, Jack Bender came to me and said – he did From, and he's got The Institute on MGM+ – 'Do you have any good haunted house stories? I said, 'I do have this one idea....
Sounds interesting. Let’s hope it happens.
In the printed interview in Locus King confirmed that Anything For Holly will be released in 2027.
"And I've got a new Holly book that will come out in 2027, and that finishes that. I thought I was done; I thought, 'Well, I finished The Talisman and I finished The Dark Tower series in T3. I finished the Holly books because I put a button on those, and I thought, 'Well, I'm done. I'm retired. But the world... it doesn't work that way. People come along and they say, 'Would you like to try and do this? Would you like to try to do that?' My mother used to say, 'Stephen, if you were a girl, you'd always be pregnant.'
In the printed version of King’s interview with Locus King talks about another book he is writing. The titel is 1968 and here is what he said:
"I'm working on something now that's called 1968. 1968 is something that I wrote, originally, in 1968, when I was 20 years old. I had just broken up with a girl and it was a place to go, a make-believe place where I could retreat from my pain. Nobody feels emotional pain like a 20-year-old - except maybe a 15-year-old! So, I wrote this long book, and I thought, 'This is not a very good book,' and I never looked at it again. Then, when I finally did, I decided, 'Yeah, it's okay. Maybe I can do something with it.' I might, and I might not. I'm trying!
"Part of the thrill of it is working with my 20-year- old self. There are parts of it where I can say to myself, 'This is totally fucked up. People don't behave this way. You might like to think people behave that way when you're 20, but they don't.' We don't fight too much, me and my 20-year-old self, because I rule, as the one who made it; I survived being 20.
