Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill [Hardcover: Excellent]

Hardcover in Excellent condition (368 pages)

A pulse-pounding, terrifying rollercoaster ride of a supernatural thriller - the remarkable 2007 debut from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.

"The shocks in Hill's riveting debut novel can be lurid and blood-drenched, or as quietly chilling as a casual phone call from an old, dead friend."  ~ Entertainment Weekly

Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals, a used hangman's noose, a snuff film.  Many of these objects were gifts from the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich.  But not all.  

'Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail.  So Jude did.  He bought it, in the shape of 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.  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
