Father and son writers Stephen King and Joe Hill are both award-winning authors in their own right but that doesn’t stop them from joining forces at a recent book talk.
Porter Square Books asked Joe Hill to join them at the Somerville Theatre and speak to readers on October 10th, this year. Joe asked if he could bring his father along. Normally this would be an unusual request but as Hill’s father is the horror maestro Stephen King, it turned out to be a great idea.
The full video is available on YouTube but the sweet and funny exchange below really made us smile.
