I first read Joe Hill’s stories in 2008 when I got a book from the discount isle from a then unknown author who wrote a ghost story. Little did I know then that Joe Hill was actually short for Joseph Hillström King (born June 4, 1972), who was Stephen King’s son. I did find some of the elements in “Heart Shape Box” to be remnant of the Dark Tower but I didn’t make the connection until I started doing a little bit of research on this indie author.
