<p><a href="https://youtu.be/-sSuhfB2Dzc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch this episode as a full video interview on YouTube</a></p><br><p><strong>Joe Hill </strong>is a <strong><em>Sunday Times </em></strong>bestseller and the <strong>#1 <em>New York Times </em></strong>bestselling author of <strong><em>Heart-Shaped Box, The Fireman</em></strong><em>, </em>and <strong><em>Full Throttle</em></strong>. He won the Eisner Award for Best Writer for his long-running comic book series, <em>Locke &amp; Key</em>, co-created with artist Gabriel Rodriguez. Much of his work has been adapted for movies and television. His second novel, <em>Horns</em>, was translated to film in 2014 and starred Daniel Radcliffe. His third novel, <em>NOS4A2</em>, is now a hit series on AMC, starring Zachary Quinto. The first season of <em>Locke &amp; Key </em>was released on Netflix in early 2020 and became an overnight smash. His latest book, King Sorrow, is out now.</p><br><p>We had a great time speaking with Joe, learning why he wanted to keep his identity as Stephen King's son a secret when he first started out, how he nearly gave up on novel writing, and why he doesn't plan his novels. He tells us all about his latest, King Sorrow, and its epic structure and story that spans both fantasy and horror, and we talk about why horror is having a bit of a resurgence just now. Plus, we get into the whole AI debate, and Joe even takes time to ask us some either/or questions at the end!</p><br><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=joe+hill" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy King Sorrow and Joe's other books now</a></p><p><a href="https://www.joehillfiction.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Joe's website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/joe_hill/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow Joe on Instagram</a></p><br><p>Support us on Patreon and get great benefits!: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone</a></p><br><p>Page One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
