Son of a Who?


So I put this book "Heart-shaped Box" on my to-read list a while ago
because NYT recommended it as a good horror novel.

I finally got around to reading it a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it
immensely. Thrilling page-turner yada yada yada. While reading, I
thought, "this is really good! I should look up this Joe Hill and see
if he's written anything else!"

That's when I discovered Joseph Hillstrom King is the son of Stephen
King. Apparently he uses his middle name so his success is of his own
creation.

And it worked - I liked him before I knew he was the scion of greatness!
