Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son, and yay for him for not riding on his father’s coat tails and writing as Joe King!  Heart Shaped Box was a pretty good read.  It was a bit predictable, but it was also suspensful. When you’re reading it you kind of can figure out how it’s going to end, but at the same time you can’t wait to see if you’re right.  If that makes sense.  The story was unique and Joe writes differently than his father, which I appreciated. And he’s not so wordy!  Joe’s book was a very manageable size.  I also think that some of King’s work is a bit too graphic and gross for my taste, but Joe’s book was not like that at all. Heart Shaped Box is essentially a ghost story, with a few fun twists. Joe’s got a blog too, evidentally he’s a comic book writer too!
