Heart-Shaped Box
by Joe Hill
DID NOT FINISH: 38%

First, didn't realize this was written by Stephen King's son, wouldn't have bought the book in 2011 if I had known. Second, this book is incredibly dated with its references to MySpace and My Chemical Romance, whom the author must have no clue about, based on an inaccurate description that could've been alleviated with a simple AskJeeves search.
This was about a gross post-fame aging Rockstar and his current live-in groupie whom he addresses by the state she's from, a pattern he maintains so he can fulfill the perverse Rockstar facade. Think sellout era Corey Taylor mixed with Ozzie and there ya go.
I wasn't having a decent time with it, but I got to the part where the groupie is masturbating to a racist-described snuff film while holding a gun to her head and had to call it quits shortly after.
The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the perverted tree.
