An October Staff Recommendation - Heart-Shaped Box

To see all October Staff Recommendations, visit the Staff Recommendations page on BookGuide.

Heart-Shaped Box
by Joe Hill

This is a book with an aging rocker protagonist, who has a morbid facination with anything occult. In fact, this facination leads him to purchase a dead man's suit that evidently includes a bona fide ghost. The story really begins when the suit comes in delivery on a cold morning. People who enjoy Stephen King will enjoy his son's first full-length novel written under the psuedonym Joe Hill. This is a book worthy of the King name and as wonderfully well-written.
