The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill


"The Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill isn't just another thriller or ghost story. The plot line was complex with lots of surprises. You kept wondering what would happen next! The story revolves around an aging rock star who likes to collect creepy things. When he sees an auction on the Internet for a man's suit that is supposedly haunted, he decides he MUST have it. It would ruin things to say anyting more. I'll just urge you to read it for yourself. But one warning--once you start, it will be hard to put down until you finish it. Oh, by the way, if you didn't know- Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King.
