Joe Hill—yes, he has a different last name, but no doubt he will for a long time be identified as Steven King’s son. And he does not disappoint.
NOS4A2 is an excellent tale of suspense, horror, and imagination. It weaves stories together with a thread of “inscapes,” taking the reader down dark paths of darker places of Hill’s mind.
Less than a third through, I felt I’d read a complete story–a good one, but the continuation satisfied even more. NOS4A2 held my interest and kept me turning pages, anxious to see what places Hill had around the next turn.
Further, Hill has an amazing gift with words. He paints a most vivid picture with letters on the page, and he brings poetic life to some dreadfully disturbing scenes.
Joe Hill—Steven King’s son but an author all his own—-a damned good one.
