The publication of Joe Hills beautifully textured, deliciously scary debut novelHeart-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 byAtlanta magazine, the Tampa Tribune, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and theVillage Voice, to name but a few. Award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling Neil Gaiman ofThe Sandman, The Graveyard Book, and Anansi Boys fame calls Joe Hills story of a jaded rock star haunted by a ghost he purchased on the internet, relentless, gripping, powerful. Open thisHeart-Shaped Box from two-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Hill if you dare and see what all the well-deserved hoopla is about.
