I’m coming back to ghosts again today admittedly before I get to some of the other creepy creatures out there… but with good reason. Today’s selection is one of the scariest books I’ve ever read. I admit I don’t read a lot of horror. But I promise you… this one will really scare you silly.
HEART-SHAPED BOX by Joe Hill
From the publisher:
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.
For some unknown reason I still haven’t read this one, but I love to be scared silly so I think I won’t wait much longer.
