3 best Joe Hill books

A parent is always the best teacher. It occurs in any trade and, of course, it can also be essential in the case of a Joe hill in whose magnitude of his father figure, nothing less than Stephen King, resides much of the most universal narrative knowledge.

If the inexhaustible teacher was able to offer us that great work towards literary creation such as "While I write", a work in which he revealed a large part of those details that add up to a better job, what would he not do with a son who one fine day He told him that he wanted to write, like him ...

No matter how much "Hill" tries to blur the infinite paternal shadow, and at the same time evidencing that thanks to that surname the doors of heaven and hell of the publishing industry would be opened to him, good Joe will always be the son of. And its facilities for access to the major labels will entail, as a natural consideration, the benefit or rather the detriment of the doubt.

But come on, welcome out that question for any author who, above all, would like to reach as many readers as possible. In spite of everything, to value the work of this author, we must stick them to the interest of his novels, regardless of mistrust about full authorship or any other detail that dirty minds pass us by.

The question is that Joe Hill novels are good, can not be denied. In a genre between horror and mystery, this author copes with solvency and awakens that tension necessary to continue reading, in a solid argument, with characters loaded with the necessary verisimilitude and with endings that sometimes close perfectly with surprising twists, even.

Locke & Key Bus 1

Who better to recover the tradition of the best comic than a privileged person like Joe Hill, who also back in 2008, when this saga began, had already shown a good example of his narrative capacity? (What a long question ...).

The point is, sometimes it's okay to go back to the comic. And the tandem that Joe Hill forms, for these creations, with the Chilean Gabriel Rodríguez achieves a perfect combination of text and illustrations. Neither the graphic is imposed on the writing nor vice versa.

The result is a hybrid between the comic and the graphic novel, or an evolution of both. This volume, exquisitely presented in hard covers, collects the first issues of a saga with gothic and horror overtones. Keyhouse, the new house in which the Lockes, is configured as a necessary home towards the restructuring of a family assaulted by fatality.

But once evil looms over someone, even the last refuge ends up shaping up to be a new hell. Only that the Lockes are ready for anything and in their union you will find weapons with which to defend yourself from the deepest terror.
