Please join us at 10:30 AM on Fri. March 7 for this semester's kickoff of Inside the Writers House, when Writers House instructor Alex Dawson talks with horror author JOE HILL.
Joe Hill is the #1 New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award, Eisner Award, Locus Award, and British Fantasy Award winning author of The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box, and Strange Weather. Much of his work has been adapted for film and television. His second novel, Horns, was made into a cult horror-comedy freakfest starring Daniel Radcliffe; his third novel, NOS4A2, was adapted for television by AMC, and featured Zachary Quinto; the movie version of his short story The Black Phone starred Ethan Hawke. He created the long-running comic book Locke & Key (with artist Gabriel Rodriguez), which was turned into a hit TV series on Netflix. Hill’s other works include the collections 20th Century Ghosts and Full Throttle, which features the novella "In The Tall Grass," written with his father, Stephen King, and turned into a feature film for Netflix, as well as several graphic novels, Basketful of Heads, Plunge, Sea Dogs, Dying is Easy, and Wraith, which continues the story of NOS4A2’s Charlie Manx. The New York Times described Hill's work as "[A] wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty... Valentine from hell.”
