The Secret of Joe Hill

[prunesquallor]

For a while now I've been seeing positive reviews of the work of hot new horror writer Joe Hill, and I've been meaning to buy some of his stuff Real Soon Now.

Then this morning I see a link to this post at Vanderworld, and the link proclaimed, "Joe Hill's Secret Identity Revealed!" "Oh!" I said to myself before clicking. "He did it again, did he?"

Well, no, not him, actually; but my instant intuition wasn't that far off.

So knowing that, are you now any more or less likely to buy a Joe Hill book?

Well, I just ordered his collection 20th Century Ghosts a few minutes ago, so I guess I'm more likely. :-;

As I said above, his work had been on my 'to buy' long list for a while, and just hearing his name mentioned again - regardless of the content - was enough to prompt me to move it to the top of the queue.
