Joe Hill's 'NOS4A2' Out This Week

Exeter author Joe Hill's new book, "NOS4A2," will be released this week.

Hill, the son of horror author Stephen King, is making a name for himself in the same genre as his father.

"NOS4A2" is described as a supernatural thriller featuring an antagonist named Charles Talent Manx, who rides a 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the "NOS4A2" vanity license plate.

Hill filmed a promo for his book at Water Street Bookstore. Watch it in the video above.

He will appear at the store Tuesday 7 p.m. for a launch party.

"NOS4A2" is Hill's first novel since 2010's "Horns."

The plot summary for "NOS4A2" reads, "(Manx) has a way with children. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing—and terrifying—playground of amusements he calls 'Christmasland.'"

Hill also writes comics and has a massive following on Twitter, with more than 165,000 followers.
