Horror writer Joe Hill reveals famous lineage in new book
Associated Press reports Joe Hill, aging as Stephen King's son, writes Heart-Shaped Box under his own name with a haunted suit tale. Hill, 34, chose to publish separately to prove merit, while his family names and careers span Tabitha King, Owen King, Naomi King, and the Bangor literary milieu. The novel, set around Judas Coyne in New York’s Hudson Valley, drew praise from The New York Times and led Warner Bros to buy movie rights before publication.
