Ok, so here we go.

As mentioned by Kilian in one of his June 15th posts, we all have our little penchants for various authors and types of work. I too am a fan of the works of Powers and Blaylock (and am in the same lucky club as Killian having also worked with the two of them) but I am not here to talk about them today. I am sure that all of you have noticed I have become intrigued with the work of Joe Hill. This is my ninth article on the site and the third that deals with Hill’s work. I think that my interest is born from my respect for Hill’s father, Stephen King, which was the real reason why I purchased a copy of “Heart Shaped Box.” While I was impressed with “Heart Shaped Box” I have been astounded by “Locke and Key”. I feel fortunate that I have found Hill early in his career because now I get the chance to see his work change and grow, a joy I missed with his father since I was born in the eighties.
