Let's break it down like a wiki: Direct Narrative Tie: 'Wraith' (comic) to 'NOS4A2' (novel). Thematic/Spiritual Ties: All other works. 'The Cape' (comic) explores superhero horror akin to darker segments of '20th Century Ghosts'. 'Basketful of Heads' (comic) has the gruesome, folk-horror vibe of parts of 'Strange Weather'. 'Plunge' (comic) shares the oceanic, creeping dread with... well, not a specific novel, but with Hill's general love for isolated, collapsing groups. So, for direct world-connection, it's a short list. For feeling like you're in Joe Hill's head, everything qualifies.
Honestly, just read 'Locke & Key'. Don't worry about how it connects. It's one of the best horror comics ever made, period. The novel connections are trivia. The experience of reading it is everything. It's a family drama, a love story, a tragedy, and a puzzle-box of terror, all rolled into one. If you like Hill's prose, you'll almost certainly love it. That's the only connection that truly matters: if you like one, you'll probably like the other.
I'm just here for the recommendations. So, 'Wraith' if you want a direct tie. 'Locke & Key' if you want his comic magnum opus. 'Basketful of Heads' for a quick, brutal thrill. They're all Joe Hill. That's the thread. Don't overcomplicate it. Dive in anywhere.
From a collector's perspective, 'Wraith' is the only direct link. It's often bundled in special editions of 'NOS4A2'. His other comics are published under the Hill House Comics imprint at DC, which he curates, but those are all separate series. So the publishing lines themselves are somewhat connected—they all bear his editorial stamp—but the narratives aren't. It's like he has a brand of horror, and each story is a different flavor. Some are prose, some are graphic. You pick based on your mood.

Sinners & Saints: A Collection Of Dark Romance Stories

This author once failed as a heroine… and returned as something entirely different.
Not as a savior.
But as the villain.
And she didn’t come back empty-handed.
She brought secrets.
She brought sins.
She brought a story that was never meant to be read.
Sinners & Saints is not just a collection of dark romance stories—
It is a confession.
A warning.
And a door best left unopened.
Within these pages lie twisted love stories where desire and destruction walk hand in hand, and every choice comes with a cost.
So the question is simple:
Will you turn away…
or step inside anyway?
At a time when sudden cosmic imbalances can be felt across universes, Earth becomes the center of an extraterrestrial attack when there is an alien-like invasion by an army of inter dimensional beings led by a goddess of war and death.
There is then a most impeccable ensemble comprising of one Natasha Johnson; Atlanta’s christened superheroine, ‘Viper’, along with a group of teenagers, super-powered beings, some old familiar faces, scientists, cops, the military, and even mercenaries who must then team up to ensure the survival of the planet as well as preventing the impending destruction of the entire cosmos.
Perdition and her brother are the children of Lucifer and Venus. They are born with an obligation to oversee Eden. However, their parents have no intention of allowing that to happen. The siblings are hidden in the underworld but lead completely different existences in that world, all the while believing their mother had perished. When a priest finds his way into the underworld, he sets into motion events that change everything. Perdition's brother escapes the underworld, leaving Perdition in a hell of of her own and seeks out his mother on the topside. Perdition eventually escapes and the ultimate journey begins.
Ellie Parkinson, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl is tormented by nightmares about a particular castle since childhood. In the nightmares, she finds herself walking across a pitch-black forest in freezing weather and the nightmare ends after the castle is seen. On reaching her eighteenth birthday, the nightmares become more frequent along with the appearance of a repulsive hooded figure who seems to be following her, and in turn, causes her loved ones to fall into grave peril. Moreover, Ellie discovers miraculous abilities and powers which she utilizes in an attempt to protect her loved ones against the forces of evil. Eventually, she goes on a road trip with her friends, Alex, Judy, and Matt to a forest, where the castle that has been appearing in her nightmares nearly her whole life emerges. Upon entering the creepy place, she unravels dark and groovy secrets about the place which provide her with a link to the nightmares, the hooded creature as well as her horrifying past.
I'm just sitting here, scrolling through all these detailed plans. Part of me thinks you should just walk into a bookstore, look at the covers and blurbs, and pick the one that gives you a chill. Sometimes over-planning the 'perfect order' takes the fun out of discovering an author organically.
The mythology in 'NOS4A2' is just so cool. The idea of 'inscapes'—these personal, powerful inner worlds that creative or obsessive people can access—is brilliantly original. It turns artists and maniacs into minor gods. It provides a framework that explains supernatural events in a way that feels both magical and logical. As a starting book, it introduces this beautiful, terrifying concept that feels fresh in a genre that can sometimes rely on tired tropes. You get the sense that Hill is building a new mythology from the ground up, and getting in on the ground floor of that is exciting.
Okay, practical tip: Search 'Joe Hill bibliography Wikipedia.' It's all laid out cleanly there with dates. Print it out, check off the books as you go.
Include the graphic novels if you want the full picture, but be prepared for a different medium. 'Locke & Key' is a massive commitment itself, started in 2008 and running for years. Maybe do prose books first, then circle back to comics if you're still hungry for his world-building.
