"Stephen King&amp;#039;s son has announced that he also writes horror novels. Joe Hill, whose real name is Joseph King, has revealed that he kept his parentage a secret in order to be taken seriously as a writer while trying to sell his work for ten years, Perez Hilton reports. Hill has admitted that he first began publishing more &amp;quot;mainstream fiction&amp;quot; and then switched to his father&amp;#039;s genre under a pseudonym to achieve accolades on his own. Hill said: &amp;quot;I really believe that had I come out as Joseph King, and I wrote a mediocre work of fiction, there would be a danger that a publisher would have published it just because they saw a chance to make a buck on the last name. &amp;quot;There were things I needed to learn about [the craft of writing] that I hadn\u00E2\u20AC\u2122t done yet.&amp;quot; Hill has previously authored Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.
