Joe Hill at Strongville Library

Debbie Palmer at the Strongville Patch (Strongsville, Ohio) has an great article titled "Joe Hill gives fans a devil of a good time." The article is about Hill's Strongville appearance at the Strongville library, when he spoke to about 200 people.

.

Hill is author of Heart-Shaped Box, Twentieth Century Ghosts and Horns, and a comic book series, Locke & Key.

I like Joe Hill! No, I haven't read much by him -- because I still haven't thinned my Stephen King reading down much. But Hill is a class act. He broke into the publishing industry on his own, not using his dads fame. and there would be no resentment if he had! But Hill not only took the high road, he went the steep rout. But Hill doesn't appear to get sulky when people ask him about his parents. He seems to openly answer questions about his childhood, his mom and dad and offers some really neat personal insights.

Here are some quotes I enjoyed, but the whole article is worth the read!

.

Hill walked in wearing light-up red horns on his head, to the delight of his fans.
"You've gotta have your fun where you can get it," he shrugged.

.

"What kind of weird stories did you get at bedtime?" one fan asked.
"My dad is not the scary guy. We always loved his bedtime stories," Hill replied, noting they typically dealt with superheroes -- with a kid-titillating twist. "He always worked diarrhea into it."
