Product Information

"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.

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 . . . . One of the most confident and assured new voices in horror and dark fantasy to emerge in recent years." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Powerful . . . a fast-paced plot that crackles with expertly planted surprises and revelations . . . a truly memorable debut." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "You can't go wrong with Heart-Shaped Box."
