Description: "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) "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 "A relentlessly scary ghost story." - Bookseller (London) "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." Top Five Fiction-Books of 2007 - The Observer "A fast-paced journey on wheels borrowed from hell's used-car lot, and there aren't a lot of comfort breaks...The pictures [Hill] painted colored my dreams and darkened my mood even after I'd put the book down." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "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 "A wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty tale of horror . . . . a Valentine from hell." - New York Times "A thriller with moments of terror and genuine humor." - People "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 [Hill]'s got horror down pat, and his debut is hair-raising fun." - Kirkus Reviews "Dark, taut, and deliciously terrifying. Heart-Shaped Box is a roaring good read." - New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs
