When you're traumatized from what you've read, you know you've found a good horror author. I even thought back to Red Dragon by Harris, the book that I couldn't read unless my boyfriend was there. "Heart Shaped Box" also made me think back to other King novels that had me ready to piss myself with terror: Cujo, Salem's Lot, The Tommyknockers, etc. it was storming outside, it was 3AM and I was too afraid to put the book down, and I didn't care if I would end up wetting the bed because there was no way in hell I was going to get up and go to the bathroom. The cover of this book promises that you will be "haunted" and "startled," and that the book will even "visit you in your dreams."įunny, as I read this "scary" novel, I couldn't help but think back to the time I read The Shining. Links to the author’s personal, Tumblr and FB pages Hill has more than realized his potential since then, establishing himself as one of the premier writers of horror working today. The guy has talent, and I expect there will be much more product in the years to come as he follows in daddy’s footsteps. What makes it special though is that Joe Hill just happens to be the son of none other than Stephen King. Although I have read better horror books, this one turned out well enough. I was not ecstatic early on about the premise, as I believed it was insufficient to sustain a book of this length. I was most reminded of Freddie Krueger, as the hostile ghost sets out to destroy Coyne and all those he holds dear. When aging, retired rocker Judas Coyne buys a ghost on-line, he gets more than he bargained for, as the ghost, which arrives by way of a used suit in a heart-shaped box, is no blithe spirit.
