New Novel By Stephen King's Lesser Known Son

Many people have heard of Stephen King's son, Joe Hill, who is a respected author in his own right.  Not so many people have heard of King's other son, Owen.  Owen's new book, Double Feature, tells the story of Sam Dolan, a young man coming to terms with his life in the process and aftermath of making his first film. He has a difficult relationship with his father, B-movie actor Booth—a boisterous, opinionated, lying lothario whose screen legacy falls somewhere between cult hero and pathetic. Allie, Sam’s dearly departed mother, was a woman whose only fault, in Sam’s eyes, was her eternal affection for his father.  Unraveling the tumultuous, decades-spanning story of the Dolan family’s friends, lovers, and adversaries, Double Feature is about letting go of everything—regret, resentment, dignity, moving pictures, the dead—and taking it again from the top.
