Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

4.0

---

This book took me a super long time to get into. Like I had to read the book about 20% through, then pick it up months later and start again from the beginning, but once I got into the meat of the story, wow! I really enjoyed it! Maybe I just needed to be in a spooky mood. Hill's story is straightforward without too much world-building or distracting over description, just like his dad. The great thing about this book is you really didn't know where it was going, what would happen next, or just how they were going to detach themselves from this heinous ghost. The ending was pretty satisfying and I think I'll be trying more of Hill's books in the future.
