Stephen King’s Son Has a “Heart-Shaped Box”

Like father, like son, as the saying goes. So it is true for Stephen King’s son, Joe Hill, whose first ever novel, the horror fiction “Heart-Shaped Box”, is about to get made into a movie directed by Neil Jordan (”The Crying Game”), so says Variety. “Heart-Shaped Box” is about an aging rock star with a penchant for the macabre. He can’t refuse an offer to buy a suit on eBay that’s said to contain a ghost. After the suit arrives, he begins to realize that while he wants the ghost gone, the ghost wants him dead. That’ll teach him to buy things off eBay. Like mom always says, Nothing good ever comes from buying crap off eBay. Anyways, let’s hope Hollywood doesn’t butcher the son’s book as they usually do dad’s.


Damn. The son is as creepy looking as the dad.
