Books & Brews: Joe Hill 

Joe Hill: I started writing as Joe Hill, so no one would know who my dad is. Also Joe Hill *looks like the spitting imagine of his dad from 70s*

I never read a book I didn’t love from this guy, nos4rato , firemen, especially horns ! And how he kept his last name secret to make it on his own , I find joe hill an inspiration

I admire him for not taking advantage of the last name to get published. He could easily have used it to get a leg up but he wanted to make his own name. Kudos.

I began writing at 13 too. But neither of my parents were writers, and at that time I wasn't a reader. To say I wasn't much of a reader would be an understatement; I didn't read anything. So, I really didn't have inspiration to go on. Just my own imagination, which was the best inspiration I had, and the only inspiration I really needed at that time. It's gotten more difficult as the years have progressed, as I understand morw about writing and what it takes to be a writer. I love it.

I love this guy so much. It's easy to forget how exceptional his writing is because he makes it look effortless. Then you read his latest and get blown away all over again. Or reread something after awhile and just shake your head about how good it is. Just reread Horns. Good golly that's a stunner. And Daniel Radcliffe is one of my favorite actors, what a job he did with It Perrish. Just phenomenal. Love you, Joe. You've usurped your dad's place in my heart, although your mom's place is secure.

Reading the fireman now, I don’t want it to end. Great.

I'm re reading Heart Shaped Box for the 4th time. With many of his books getting attention..I wish this would get made into a movie..

I remember the first time I read a Joe Hill book, Heart Shaped Box, and thinking his writing kinda reminds me of Stephen King (who's my fave author since I was a kid), only to find out he's his son. He's a great author in his own right though, and I especially love his short stories.

One more timed “ I love Joe”. I feel loved as I read. Joe was loved by mom and dad and I feel that as I was not . Thank you for that Joe Hill family: love you forever

Joe Hill is top 5 for me.

I love Joe Hill. He is my favorite author.. I love him in the details. Lots of details are hilarious. So deep and sensitive and here is the best part…. All the way to the END. And it ends. No hanging plot ever. I LOVE JOE HILL.. His excellent writing makes me so happy. Sensitivity to time like “ the eighties”. So fantastic. I have to struggle through the painful Parts and see if I can stand it. He stretches me, but then sends the reader a redeeming quality. In this world we need redemption. Love love love Joe Hill.❤❤❤❤

Love Joe Hill!

He talks just like his Dad. It’s hilarious. Haha!

Joe Hill fuckin' ROCKS! Cheers!

I love you Joe Hill!!❤️❤️❤️

Finally I know how to pronounce NOS-FOUR-RAH-TWO

I will tell you why I enjoy horror, Joe. To distract me from the pain of Lonliness and sadness. Horror is the quickest way out of despair. It focuses a person on the here and now, on the physical world. It takes you quick out of one painful emotion like “no body loves me “ to Yikes! I am scared! And scared is interesting compared to the hole of depression.❤

I love Joe Hill!!!!❤

Just started 20th century ghost and so far Its everything expected! SO far its been excellent

I love the scraps of human characters that Joe uses in his books

I feel narked that I missed him doing a reading at Waterstone’s Birmingham (U.K.).

He is a spitting image of his father holy heck

I worked as a bookseller back when his books first started hitting the shelves, yeah, all of already knew he was King's son. It didn't take ten years for the secret to get out.

But you look just like your dad. I loved the Tall Grass

Best New Horror Should be a Movie, preferably directed by David Fincher, please!

Полный газ - это пока мое первое знакомство с автором, и я ничуть не жалею, очень интересные и разноплановые рассказы. Сам Джо говорил, что романы у него не сразу получались, но рассказы писать он умеет точно, вот я и убедился. Посмотрим, как там с другими его произведениями

"I started writing as Joe Hill so publishers wouldn't use my last name" He's got his mother's face and his father's hair & beard. It wouldn't take very long to figure out who his parents are lol

As he gets older there is no need for a DNA test. Looks and talks just like Stephen.

Wow what he said about Pennywise being a boggart in the Harry Potter universe and how he would easily be dispelled really sticks with me. I know that ignores the macroverse and interdimensional aspect of It but still, a wizard would have a better chance of fairing against It than the loser's club. If ka wills it that is.

How many joe hills are there

Joe Hill looks more like Stephen King than Stephen King does

Most american interview ever

In the grass is more like stephen king.
