Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story.

Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphanalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock. But the rest of his collection doesn't make the house feel cold. The bones don't make the dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel as if he's being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life . . .

PLEASE NOTE, WE DO NOT SHIP TO DENMARK. New Book. Shipped from UK in 4 to 14 days. Established seller since 2000. Please note we cannot offer an expedited shipping service from the UK.
The novel starts off well, and it gets really, really spooky and looks like it's going to have a good payoff. However, as the number of pages read grows larger and then larger than the number of pages left, it becomes more and more apparent that Joe had more a story than an ending and that he, like his dad has often done over the decades, suddenly realized that he only had a comparative very few pages to actually wrap the story up. So he did it, and it was unsatisfying, deeply. It really had what it takes to be a really good, really dark but poignant horror story with a conclusion that made the reader think about the speed of life, behavior, unintended consequences, and how we only have experience after we already needed it, but nope. -- It's well-written and really atmospheric, and it's also far too long and has a carelessly meh ending.
This is Joe Hill's debut novel from 2007.
Simply put, it's one of the best ghost stories I've ever read.

READ THIS!
If you like horror/mystery/thriller then read this book. That is all I'm saying.

Unique, terrifying
With a quick-paced plot and sympathetic characters, this is a ghost story for today's reader, about a burned out rock musician and the groupie who loves him...and a very angry ghost from his past.
I loved it, and couldn't put it down.
