"Joe Hill is One Stealthy Bastard"

...Chirstopher Golden couldn't have said it better in his introduction to 20th Century Ghosts.

Joe Hill certainly is an entertaining read, his book was definitely a good one to end the semester on, in terms of reading that is. 

Of course, I had to look up his website, it's what I do. In terms of overall enjoyableness and readability, I would place his personal blog right up there with Neil Gaiman. Actually, I might even give Hill first place. His archives go all the way back to July 2005, talk about blog dedication...
I particularly liked a key design contest he apparently had on his site, open for fans to design their version of the Ghost Key. Other cool aspects of his site--he'll share with you daydreams he had as a kid, he encourages helping out independent book stores by throwing other contests, and while not all of his posts pertain to his works, you can still learn a little more about each one. 
I particularly liked his blog on his failed attempt to write a Spider Man story...
Check out his website here

And for those of you on Twitter, Hill is up on that recent trend too: Twitter!
