2026 is here and Lilja’s Library’s 30th anniversary!
Here is a birthday wish from none other than John Ajvide Lindqvist (thank you so much) author of one of the best vampire books written; Let The Right One In.
According to Amazon Joe Hill’s next book Hunger will be released on October 13 and here is a description of it’s plot:
A new novel about the battle for a country's survival — and a malevolent, murderous ghost hell-bent on consuming souls.
They’re starving in Boston.
It’s the winter of 1776, and the besieged city is running perilously low on supplies. First the American rebels penned in the British soldiers, then frostbite sank its teeth into the city, and now a ravenous ghost has come to feed on the trapped and desperate colonists who remain loyal to the Crown. Morale is low enough among the besieged British troops without a fiend tempting men with a sumptuous feast of roast meat, pastries, puddings, and pies. It’s a spread many would sell their souls for…which is exactly the deal on offer. As the ghoul’s withered victims pile up, and panic spreads, British General Howe takes action: he orders Captain Amos Crowe to expel the fiend by any means necessary. It is an impossible order. But it’s far from the only impossibility in Crowe’s horrifying New World. For the dead have been speaking to him ever since he was injured at the Battle of Bunker Hill. And now, he must track down a witch hidden deep behind enemy lines, a woman who, it is rumored, holds the key to defeating the evil spirit. A fast-paced and immersive historical yarn from Joe Hill, master of the supernatural fable, this gripping story weaves its way through the heart of the American Revolution as told through British eyes, capturing the spirit of the age in all its high passion, opportunity, and terror.
The book will have 432 pages (according to Amazon) and you can pre-order your copy here.
19 years ago, today info about my first interview with King was posted on StephenKing.com. During the interview I spoke with King on the phone for 45 minutes and it resulted in a 3-part interview that was published on Lilja’s Library on January 16, 17 and 18 2007.
Some of the things we talked about is not that exciting today 19 years later as it was then but at the same time some of the things, like his accident, the soon to be released third Talisman book and writing under a pseudonym are still as exciting today as it was back in 2007.
You can check out the interview through these links if you haven't already.
