There are many examples of cult American television series that have undergone the rounds of constant possible adaption for the modern eye, and most have failed to deliver upon the story first laid down in stone, instead deciding that the story had to be told again from the beginning with a brasher, edgier, and dare it be said, a more idealised portrayal when it comes to the relationships and the body of the self within the parameters of the narrative.

The allegories and symbols that were explicitly portrayed on the hit American television series V were so plain to the naked eye that the viewer never once had to question that the sci-fi classic was truly about the representation of war, collusion, consent by power, and the requirement of all citizens to take a stand against the evils of fascism.

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.

A time must come when the master is surpassed by his apt pupil, when the opportunity arises for the continuation of a dynasty is seized and the family name regenerates into the new and abiding era; such is the fate of a King, and whilst Stephen King shows no sign of slowing down as the books and ideas keep flowing, it is to Joe Hill that the vibe of disturbing horror fiercely expects stimulation and the opening of the dark path.
