Joe Hill

Heart-shaped Box

Rocker Judas Coyne collects strange artifacts. When his assistant sees an online auction for a haunted suit, Jude buys it, for the full price. The suit is not only haunted, the ghost is both malevolent and murderous. Jude and his current girlfriend, who he calls Georgia, battle both the ghost and their own demons during the fight for their lives, and maybe souls.

I like a good horror novel, and Heart-Shaped Box was both creepy and well-written. The main characters were sympathetic without being gooey. I have to say, this was probably one of the best books I've read in the last month.

I give it a UUU
Three tub rating.
