It is a demonstration to the pursuit of a truth and reflection that the writing of Joe Hill resonates with so much angst and the passion of possible sorrow that it could be argued that he is able to take a step into the darkness that his own famous father, and one of the finest exponents of horror of all time, Stephen King, was unable to truly master; that of the ordinary insight given its own inference of damage.
