It is ironic that this writer uses a pseudonym to separate himself from his father who is perhaps the biggest writer of all time sales wise in the specific genre they both write in.

The reason it is ironic is the father has ghostwritten 70% to 80% of the work credited to the son.

In fact their recent collaboration which has been turned into a film was written entirely by the father except for the title which was the son’s contribution.

Joseph Hillstrom King
pseudonym : Joe Hill

Father: Stephen King

In the Tall Grass

Streamin’ King: ‘In The Tall Grass’ Imaginatively Builds On Stephen King and Joe Hill’s Short Story

THE GIST: Pregnant Becky and brother Cal are driving her across the country. On one of those vast Midwestern stretches of farms and nothingness, they hear a child crying for help from a gargantuan field of grass higher than its small group of unfortunate inhabitants, a malevolent entity of its own that messes with direction, space, and time. Within it lives a mysterious and powerful black rock.

PEDIGREE: Features Patrick Wilson (Fargo, the Conjuring and Insidious franchises), who called it “one [of] my strangest films, for sure. (that’s a great thing).” Stars relatively new face Laysla De Oliveira (Netflix’s upcoming Joe Hill series adaptation Locke & Key), Avery Whitted in his second film, 12-year-old Will Buie Jr. (Bunk’d), and Harrison Gilbertson (Picnic at Hanging Rock). Score by Mark Korven (Robert Eggers’s The Witch and The Lighthouse), cinematography by Craig Wrobleski (Fargo, The Umbrella Academy).Written and directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice), who announced the project in 2015, praising its authors for turning an “otherwise innocuous Kansas field into a stage for some of the most disturbing horror fiction I have ever read.” Natali’s also a talented storyboard artist and shared 226 pages of his Grass boards on his site, along with trippy concept art from himself and three others. – Source
