Heart-Shaped Box
by Joe Hill
Bloody. hell.
I knew from reading NOS4A2 that Joe Hill was a pretty sick ticket, but DAMN. I don't even know if I can do a proper review of this, it was such an intense ride.
I'm shocked at the negative reviews of this. I didn't find it lagging in the least. I was into it from the jump, fascinated by Jude. Being a fan of aging rockers like Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper, artists who have/had a reputation for eccentricity, Jude felt like a very familiar character to me.
It took me awhile to care about Georgia, and Florida, but by the time I cared about them, I cared hard. Thereby, trapping me completely. I cared even more about the dogs. I always care more about the dogs.
I guessed mostly what the means of getting rid of the ghost would be. And it ended up being very, very strange. Very hard to follow, that entire section. But still well done, and the ending was not smooshy.
I can't get over how good Joe Hill is at writing horror novels. It's been so long since I've had novels legitimately scare me, and this is the second novel by him I've read, and the second novel that's frightened me. It's fantastic to find. I want to read so much more by him.
