The Fireman is another post apocalypse plague book that follows a group of survivors as they struggle to keep one member’s messiah fetus alive. This is how I would rank Joe Hill’s works starting with the worst and working up to the best. That they are actually branching out and trying new things in their literature is a good thing, even if they stumble. It is a sign that they aren’t churning out the same formula with each volume. No author is perfect and maybe not all of their books will be for you.

Just because I really didn’t like The Fireman doesn’t mean he isn’t going to write another even better than Locke & Key masterpiece later. He is still young and is obviously full to bursting with original ideas. But just because he wrote, in my opinion, one very bad novel and another mediocre one does not make him a bad author. One would think that an author who could reach that high status with a reader would have a fully captivating bibliography but he fluctuates wildly. Without a doubt it is one of my favorite books of all time, of any genre. The main reason I want to spotlight Joe Hill is because of the absolutely marvelous graphic novel series Locke & Key. Many of his novels suffer from being far too long but with every single one I really wanted to see how it ended. He has a sort of magnetic pull that draws me in and keeps me reading until the last page. The unusual thing about Joe Hill is that even though I did not find his first couple of novels spectacular I felt a strong urge to keep reading what he put out. I continue to read Joe Hill’s books even after they have proven to be uneven in quality. it’s at no extra cost to you and would really help me out, thank you and happy reading! Author: Joe Hill
