Kingpen

Although not a huge Stephen King fan myself because I simply can't handle the horror genre, I have mad respect for him. He's a prolific, genre-crossing icon. So it's no wonder that his son has been writing under a pen name for some time in order to try to make it as a writer aside from his father's legendary reputation. I'm intrigued that Joe Hill (born Joseph Hillstrom King) kept the secret so long - not only from the public, but from his editor, too. Sounds like the web has been rife with speculation, and his cover has officially been blown at this point. Plus he's starting to look like King. Or Garth Brooks in the "Thunder Rolls" video. I'm not sure which. At any rate, meet the sequel to The Shining.
