"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.Product Identifiers

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 . . . .

Really great debut novel
Really liked the characters and I stayed up until 4am finishing it because I just had to know what happened. I guess that "Grabbing Power" says it all. Nothing like staying up that late in a dark silent house with a good horror story. A real page turner.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

My review of Joe Hill's, Heart-shaped box
This book was a very intriguing read with lots of detail on the characters and suspenseful buildup. Definitely has taken on the identical method of his father's way of writing. Huge fan of Stephen King, and anticipating the next book from Joe Hill as well! 👍👍😎Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
