by **Joe Hill** (Author)

**"Wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty....A Valentine from hell."  
\--Janet Maslin, _New York Times_**

The publication of Joe Hill's beautifully textured, deliciously scary debut novel _Heart-Shaped Box_ was greeted with the sort of overwhelming critical acclaim that is rare for a work of skin-crawling supernatural terror. It was cited as a Best Book of the Year by _Atlanta_ magazine, the _Tampa Tribune_, the _St. Louis Post Dispatch_, and the _Village Voice_, to name but a few. Award-winning, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling Neil Gaiman of _The Sandman_, _The Graveyard Book_, and _Anansi Boys_ fame calls Joe Hill's story of a jaded rock star haunted by a ghost he purchased on the internet, "relentless, gripping, powerful." Open this _Heart-Shaped Box_ from two-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Hill if you dare and see what all the well-deserved hoopla is about.  

Aging death-metal rock legend Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals...a used hangman's noose...a snuff film. But nothing he possesses is as unique or as dreadful as his latest purchase in this chilling gothic horror novel: a one-of-a-kind curiosity bought off the Internet that arrives at his door in a black heart-shaped box...a musty dead man's suit still inhabited by the spirit of its late owner. And now everywhere Judas Coyne goes, the old man is there--watching, waiting, dangling a razor blade on a chain from his bony hand.
