Marcus ParksHOST
When I look at this, I can't even r- r- I can't even believe who we got to talk to this year.
Marcus ParksHOST

Marcus ParksHOST
Yeah.
Marcus ParksHOST
That's right.

Stephen KingSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Rise from your grave.
speaker_12HOST
Okay.
speaker_12HOST
We interviewed Joe Hill, uh, author Joe Hill few months ago.
Marcus ParksHOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
She has a deep background in this space, having co-created the supernatural Netflix series Lock and Key.
speaker_1HOST
Which was a brilliant adaptation of the comic book series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah, so she intimately knows how to handle complex, rule-based, magical world building.
speaker_1HOST
But if we connect this to the broader mechanics of adaptation we've been discussing, we have to ask the structural question.
ScottHOST
football player you know sports star but he's got both it must be difficult um if you are always trying to get out of that especially like with a very recognizable surname a little bit different if like your parents operate with a stage name or a fake name or something along those lines but um yeah beckham there's the argument there that if you want to do your own thing you change your name you know to try and create that separation
CarloHOST
Joe Hill.
CarloHOST
Yeah.
ScottHOST
Yeah.
ScottHOST
Yeah.
ScottHOST
Yeah.
ScottHOST
Joe Hill, like Magnus is using Farrell as his last name.
ScottHOST
Once again, I don't know anyone else that has that last name.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
It is a very chunky tome.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
It is King Sorrow by Joe Hill, son of Stephen King.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
Oh.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
It is his most recent novel.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
But due to the fine print, he now demands a sacrifice every Easter or else he's going to kill them.
Miles Reid-LobatoHOST
And thus the plot escalates from there.
Charlie Etheridge-NunnHOST
Okay, I've only read a couple of Joe Hill books.
Charlie Etheridge-NunnHOST
For some reason, I always feel like, what if Stephen King plus kind of Dark Horse?
MitchHOST
Right.
MitchHOST
But right now, like, I am balls deep in that Joe Hill book.
BrandonHOST
Oh, yeah.
BrandonHOST
Yeah.
BrandonHOST
I wonder what that.
BrandonHOST
Yeah, that's weird.
MitchHOST
And I was like, okay, well, and the thing that Joe Hill does is a thing that his dad does and it irritates the piss out of me.
MitchHOST
Right.
speaker_4HOST
How does the apocalypse evolve and how do new voices engage with the towering legacy of the genre's pioneers? The final book on Urquhart's list represents this perfectly.
speaker_4HOST
It is a novel titled King Sorrow, published in 2025, written by Joe Hill.
speaker_5HOST
Ah, King Sorrow.
speaker_4HOST
Now, the Collider article makes sure to highlight a piece of biographical context that is impossible to ignore and which completely frames the inclusion of this book on the list.
speaker_4HOST
joe hill is stephen king's son
speaker_5HOST
carrying the surname of the man who practically invented the modern horror epic while choosing to write within that very same genre is an unimaginably heavy creative burden i can't even imagine the expectations placed upon joe hill by the readership are monolithic
speaker_4HOST
the pressure must be immense
speaker_5HOST
yeah
Richard KrauseHOST
He tweets about them all the time, it seems.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
Yeah, that began, I think it was around 2010 that I found out that the editor that I had in New York One of her writers that she edited was a fellow named Joe Hill.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
And she said, oh, yeah, Joe recommended this book because his dad had recommended it to him.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
And I thought, well, wait a minute.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
I know who Joe Hill is, and his real name is Joe King.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
His father is Stephen King.
Linwood BarclayGUEST
And so that's when I found out that he'd been reading the books and liked them.
GriffeyHOST
I think that's crucial.
GriffeyHOST
And now his son, Joe Hill, is going on and becoming a new iconic and prolific voice in horror.
GriffeyHOST
And he has a lot of that same kind of feel and vibe that his dad has, just through a younger lens, right? So, again, it's...
GriffeyHOST
It's so rare.
21 MINS LATER
GriffeyHOST
That one just is hitting on all of a sudden.
GriffeyHOST
And then you get the great Tom Atkins wraparound, where he's just like the shithead dad.
GriffeyHOST
And the little kid with the comic book, Stephen King's son, Joe Hill.
HeathHOST
Oh,
Erin A. CraigGUEST
But I remember I was on stage and like all the stage lights are, you know, on, on me and everything.
Erin A. CraigGUEST
And I was reading Joe Hill's The Heart Shaped Box, which is terrifying.
Erin A. CraigGUEST
scribbled out eye ghosts and everything.
Erin A. CraigGUEST
And this was already kind of slightly freaked out, but this was what I had chosen to read that afternoon while walking around stage.
Matthew MurrayHOST
So the other thing, criteria, is that often these books are exceptionally long.
Matthew MurrayHOST
I started reading The Fireman by Joe Hill, which is like 750 pages long.
Matthew MurrayHOST
And I got up to page 89 and characters were still using cell phones.
Matthew MurrayHOST
And I'm just like, oh, this is like the first, I don't know, half of this book or something is like clearly apocalyptic and not post-apocalyptic.
