About this product

Product Information

"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 off the Internet: a one-of-a-kind curiosity 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.

A fast-paced journey on wheels borrowed from hell's used-car lot, and there aren't a lot of comfort breaks...The pictures [Hill] painted colored my dreams and darkened my mood even after I'd put the book down., [Hill]'s got horror down pat, and his debut is hair-raising fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "A relentlessly scary ghost story." -- Bookseller (London) "Powerful . . . a fast-paced plot that crackles with expertly planted surprises and revelations . . . a truly memorable debut." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "You can't go wrong with Heart-Shaped Box." Top Five Fiction-Books of 2007 -- The Observer "A fast-paced journey on wheels borrowed from hell's used-car lot, and there aren't a lot of comfort breaks...The pictures [Hill] painted colored my dreams and darkened my mood even after I'd put the book down." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer, [HEART-SHAPED BOX] demonstrates two things: 1) Hill has inherited his father's talent for macabre storytelling, and 2) he really, really likes ghosts. Scary ones . . . . Hill wastes no time sucking in readers. The suit shows up on page 9, weird stuff is happening by page 18 and the ghost makes his first appearance on page 29. By page 75 or so, Coyne is fighting for his life and you'll be turning pages almost as fast as you can breathe . . . In Coyne, Hill has created a vivid protagonist. The aging rock star is a selfish, unsentimental guy who would be unsympathetic if he weren't so sardonic and brutally honest. His relationship with the waifish Georgia proves surprisingly tender and resilient. And as villains go, Craddock is a whopper: a cruel, manipulative apparition who shadows his victims everywhere, climbs into their brains and drives them to madness . . . When it comes to efficient horror-suspense, HEART-SHAPED BOX proves the poisoned apple doesn't fall far from the King family tree. (Salt Lake City Tribune), "A thriller with moments of terror and genuine humor." -- People "A wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty tale of horror . . . . a Valentine from hell." -- New York Times "Heart-Shaped Box is, quite simply, the best debut horror novel since Clive Barker's Damnation Game...It's the kind of book that the overworked adjectives people use on book jackets--relentless, gripping, powerful, a genuine page-turner--were really meant to describe, for it's all of those things, and enormously smart besides. A genuinely scary novel filled with people you care about; the kind of book that still stays in your mind after you've turned over the final page. I loved it unreservedly." -- Neil Gaiman "Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box starts with a premise that is as simple as it is brilliant: a ghost for sale on the Internet. But here is a tale that is far from a one-trick pony. It chills with every word, surprises with every page, and twists with every chapter. Here is a debut as literate as it is horrifying . . . and the resounding introduction of a new master in the field of suspense." -- James Rollins "Heart-Shaped Box. . . rocks. It's a flat-out, white-line, turbo-charged, relentless, bleakly humorous, and, above all, honest story . . . Hill's fealty to the autumnal suspirations of the darkest sorts of dread is instantly apparent. And this, as they say, is just the beginning." -- Austin Chronicle "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 "Dark, taut, and deliciously terrifying. Heart-Shaped Box is a roaring good read." -- New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs [Hill]'s got horror down pat, and his debut is hair-raising fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "A relentlessly scary ghost story." -- Bookseller (London) "Hill is flawless in his ability to articulate frailties that humanize his characters and make the vulnerable to intrusions of the strange . . . . One of the most confident and assured new voices in horror and dark fantasy to emerge in recent years." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Powerful . . . a fast-paced plot that crackles with expertly planted surprises and revelations . . . a truly memorable debut." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "You can't go wrong with Heart-Shaped Box." Top Five Fiction-Books of 2007 -- The Observer "A fast-paced journey on wheels borrowed from hell's used-car lot, and there aren't a lot of comfort breaks...The pictures [Hill] painted colored my dreams and darkened my mood even after I'd put the book down." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer, Powerful . . . a fast-paced plot that crackles with expertly planted surprises and revelations . . . a truly memorable debut.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    I would highly recommend this read.

    I bought this because it intrigued me. I did not know he was Stephen King's son when I first read it. Since then I have read two more of his books, and thoroughly enjoyed them. This was actually a replacement for my original copy of the book that got lost in moving. I would recommend it to anyone who likes this genre. It is an awesome book!
