Its a visual trip.
I loved it, says Hill.
I think its really disturbing.
You know, I think its likeHereditary-level scary.
Vincenzo did a wonderful job with it.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When you write together, how does that actually work?
My memory is that I would get up in the morning and Dad would have emailed me some pages.
So, we were both sort of rewriting each others stuff and then adding to what was there.
Its a freak-out, really.
How involved were you in the film adaptation?HILL:I read Vincenzos script.
I thought it turned out really, really well.HILL:Ive been an executive producer on the AMC showNOS4A2.
So, Ive done the executive producer thing.
This all sounds great.
I mean, the story is just really dark.
No, Im just kidding.
Joe,In the Tall Grassis one of the tales in your new short story collection,Full Throttle.
Could you tease some of the other stories?HILL:Yes, soFull Throttleis very affordably priced.
Theres a sleek, beautiful hard cover and at those prices, you almost want to buy two.
I mean, the thing about a book coming out now is, Christmas is right around the corner.
Thank you, Joe.
