Book details...
'Heart-Shaped Box' by Joe Hill.
A compelling and claustrophobic supernatural
thriller from a remarkable new author.
'Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail.
So Jude did.
He bought the dead man's suit, delivered in a
heart-shaped box, because he wanted it:
because his fans ate up that kind of story.
It was perfect for his collection: the
genuine skulls and the bones, the real
honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books
and all the rest of the paraphanalia that
goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock.
But the rest of his collection doesn't make
the house feel cold. The bones don't make the
dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel
as if he's being watched. And none of the
artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with
black scribbles over his eyes out of the
shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and
make him run for his life . . .
Joe Hill is past recipient of the Ray
Bradbury Fellowship and the winner of the
A.E. Coppard Long Fiction Prize. His short
fiction has appeared in literary, mystery and
horror collections and magazines in Britain
and America.
