Hill is King's son but he doesn't live off the family name.

    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty May 1, 08:20
  - imagine how creepy of a childhood he must have had. I can just imagine SK waking him up in the middle of the night holding a giant knife "Joe, do you - Don Homer May 1, 08:07 1
    - King has a fantastic story involving Joe and the writing of Gerald's Game. -- nm - Jim May 1, 08:10
