Heart Shaped Box ROCKS
) 
this was such a fast moving, scary, and visual story. WOW it will make a good movie (if they don't ruin it like some film makers do). Joe is really a chip off the old block, while still having his own unique style. Can't wait for another one. GO JOE!

Best Ghost Story I've ever read.I never liked ghost stories... then Joe Hill changed my mind. Heart Shaped box is a fast paced thrill ride of a story. It doesn't waste time, pulls you right into the 'heart' of the matter and then runs with the ball. This was an excellent read and i loved the metal and rock music references and tie-ins. I can't wait for more from Joe Hill.

A Heart-Shaped Treat!I bought this book out of curiousity. Would Joe Hill be able to walk, or even stand, in his father's genre? What a lovely surprise! Heart-Shaped Box is a horror fan treat.
Hill's protagonist, an aging rock star, is intrigued rather than warned that the collectible, a dead man's suit offered for sale online, comes with a ghost. A twist on the idea that a person should "Be careful what he/she asks for . . ." leads the reader on a page turning romp that doesn't disappoint.

Gotta say i actually had a nightmare after reading this book! Very creepy and hard to put down. I look forward to reading his other books

An intelligent thriller that I couldn't put down.Joe Hill (King) knows how to weave a story. Though you don't have to have liked 80's metal music at all to enjoy this well written thriller, but if you did, you will be treated to extra tongue in cheek references that you will easily get. The story of Judas Coyne purchasing a "haunted" suit is well structured in culminates into a deeper story with a sordid past. I don't read "horror" books that often as a genre, but after reading this offering from Joe Hill I will be sure to check out whatever he writes. This book has those subtle, hair stand up on the back of your neck, moments in a crafty way. An intelligently written thriller that I couldn't put down.
