Joe Hill Problem

So i just want to know what other people think about this, but the first book I read by Joe Hill was Horns. I don't think I even knew the movie was based on a book, let alone a King Dynasty member, so I was really excited. The excitement paid off, the book was so fucking good, the characters were amazingly realized, the pacing is perfect, the tone is fantastic. When The Scene started from Lee's perspective I got almost sick with apprehension, long story short this book was an amazingly written rollercoaster. So I started picking away at the rest of his bibliography, starting with N0S4A2. It was good, high tier decent, so a little disappointing cobut still not a bad read. Then I read The Fireman. Extremely mediocre. The characters were bad, dialogue kinda cringe, plot was a cool concept but not very well executed. Strange Weather, only one story was enjoyable, the one about guns, I actually loved it. The others were kinda trash. Heart-Shaped Box, so fucking bland and unoriginal. 20th Century Ghosts, mediocre all throughout. Every time I get another one of his books my hopes are raised and dashed. I'm currently on the third story in Full Throttle, and the same thing is happening. Everything besides Horns just seems off, I don't feel as if he writes good dialogue, the solutions and endings seem way to obvious and simple, the characters are boring. I don't know how I could have felt the way I do about literally one work in an author's entire lineup and so opposite about the rest. Let's get some discussion going, am I alone in this?
