'Judas Coune is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals...a used hangman's noose...a snuff film. An aging death-metal rock god,his taste for the unnatural is as widely known to his legionsof fans for his notorious excesses of his youth. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest discovery, an item for sale on the Internet, a thing so terribly strange, Jude can't help but reach for his wallet.

I will "sell" my stepfather's ghost to the highest bidder....


For a thousand dollars,Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's
suit,said to be haunted by a restless spirit. He isn't afraid. He has spent a lifetime coping with ghosts- of an abusive father, of the lovers he callously abandoned, of the bandmembers he betrayed. What's one more?

But what UPS delivers to his door is in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost,no benign conversation piece. It's the real thing.

And suddenly the suit's previous owner is everywhere: behind the bedroom door...seated in Jude's restored vintage Mustang...standing outside his window...staring out from his widescreen TV. Waiting-with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one bony hand....





^^the above is a summary of the book 'Heart-Shaped Box' by Joe Hill.



I have not read the book yet. ((I only got it about 5 hours ago.)) But when I do finish it I will rate it and post what I think on here.

My friend has read it and he said that it was an Awesome horror book.

I will post more later.

Normal is for Muggles!

I read it, and it was cool, but not the best horror book I've read...I'd like to know what others think about it though
