Joe Hill’s standalone novels are six independent works published between 2007 and 2025. Since these are not connected by a shared storyline, they can be read in any order. Heart-Shaped Box came first in 2007, followed by Gunpowder in 2008 and Horns in 2009.
The list also includes the Locke & Key Audio Drama from 2015, The Fireman from 2016, and King Sorrow, which arrived in 2025. The books are spread across nearly two decades of Hill’s fiction career, with gaps of several years between some entries.
