It's so nice to hear such intelligent and interesting authors. Thank you for posting this video on youtube for the people we couldn't attend to this event.

I met Joe Hill a few years ago at a bookstore in Denver. He's super cool in person and crazy nice if you ever get a chance to go to one of his readings, their really worth it.

Joe Hill is great. Both Horns and NOS4A2 are incredible stories with terrific characters.

[@Dapryor]

Just started NOS4A2. Can’t wait to get into the meat of it.

Joe Hill is brilliant!

[@PaulWildstar]

Joe Hill King! What a great writer.

[@getthefuckaoutmyway]

Joe is a great writer. Also, the resemblence of his facial features with his father's is just shocking. They look so alike... It's like looking at a younger version of Stephen before his accident in 1999

[@cindysettles3743]

Yes I love his work and had the surprise of my life who is dad is. So, for me, the anonymity of who he is didn’t affect how much I liked his stories 🌹

[@user-ms7ez6tu7b]

I need to buy Strange Weather.

[@franloiacono9306]

YEAH YOU DO

[@liamcleak3659]

Strange Weather is a great book. 'Loaded' is the best novella in the book IMO. His voice is a lot different than his dads. There are some similarities in Joe and Stephens work but there are also alot of differences. In The Tall Grass is a fantastic collaboration.

[@Grimscribe732]

I really need to read more of his stuff. Such a genuinely nice guy.

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Man I could listen to him ( Joe I mean) all day.Mr. Estleman is very interesting also. Apologies if I spelled the gentleman’s name incorrectly.

First time iv'e ever seen and heard Joe Hill, iv'e only ever heard mention of him from King and just thought " meh another writers child trying to live up to it" but i'm actually surprised (not only cos he looks like an update 3.1 version lol) very well spoken.

[@stacielara9856]

Amazing. Thank you!!

[@williamhatfield8515]

Joe Hill thank you

Kings on writing is the reason I’m starting my book the Emerald Queen

[@justintai8725]

Good job, very engaging.

I live in Burlington, Ontario, and this past summer the street around the corner from my house was closed for a few days and nights for filming of a Netflix project 'Locke and Key'. I had no idea it was written by King's son. Either way, when it comes out, I can look inside my neighbour's house and case the joint.

[@CinematicMaj]

Rain, Snapshot and Aloft are great stories from Strange Weather!!!

[@willywhitmore9189]

Not a fan of loaded?

[@CinematicMaj]

@@willywhitmore9189 That was the only one I didnt read cuz i knew the ending

[@trptguy23]

Funny to hear Joe talk about the sweet spot of novel writing coming from baby Stevie who wrote for volume 😂😂😂

[@MikeRoberts1964]

I so see Steve King circa 1971

[@pazuzu126]

Joe Hill is cute, I like his beard

[@jeffisaacson3804]

For someone trying to separate himself from his famous father, Stephen King, he sure looks like his father when he was younger.

[@franloiacono9306]

cant help genetics

[@benjaminj.kreger-creative8001]

Jeff Isaacson There’s moments when he’s reading that he even sounds like his dad ;)

[@joescott778]

Jesus that long description portion was rig on the money. I tried some Anne Rice book years ago and she spent 3 pages describing a room. She took so long describing every little thing in the room i forgot why to character was in there and put the book away and never picked it up again.

[@ladeedacook]

The Fireman!! Fan-fucking-tastic!

[@brianberek]

gawd, a doppleganger of his dad, he's even better

[@livewireOrourke]

"You paid that much for this......they saw you coming.". Lol

[@Subject295]

Wow! I wonder if people have asked him if he was Francis Ford Capella, like his Old Man. Or Maybe more likely, "Are you Stephen King?" :P

[@aaronjanusch6090]

Maugham is brilliant.

[@pauline9580]

Without knowing who he is, was,or reading what he wrote,you would be under the impression he is related to Stephen King.🤣🤣

[@Easy-Death_Oven4056]

He seem's like his father a little bit

[@gabrieltheodore1559]

Yup: kevlar makes bullets just bounce off. Real intelligent author; evident he did his research

[@IVant2BAlone]

Camp Crystal Lake. lol

[@jerryinohio1978]

Ummmmmm ehhhh and ummmmm

[@stevenobiol8295]

Robotic and mundane. Does not have his Dad's sense of humor.
