TW: Rape and AbuseDef. not as good as Horns but not bad. It’s not scary but I can’t remember the last time a book caused scares like a movie so it’s not a big deal for me. I really read this kind of thing for the dark, creepy, and twisted, which Heart-Shaped Box has in spades. I do like how it’s not...

GR Cleanup Project. Read in October 2011. This is a very creepy ghost story. Judas is an aging former rock star who has a passion for bizarre things and much younger goth chicks.

Full discolsure: I've recommended this author to a great many people, based solely on his writing for the Legacy collection worthy Locke & Key.

Joe Hill, definitely “a chip off the old block”, the old block being mega-author [a:Stephen King|3389|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1362814142p2/3389.jpg] of course. From what I have read Hill tried his best to keep his relationship with Stephen King a secret and forge his own career ...
Aging rockstar Judas Coyne buys a ghost through an internet auction site to add to his collection of bizarre and morbid oddities, which proves to be about the worst online purchase ever - and not because it turns out to be a fake; rather the opposite, in fact. The ghost of ex-mesmerist, dowser, and ...
This book took me a long time to finish (3 weeks!) even though I was enjoying it. It wasn't very long (400 pages, according to Amazon), but I was not in a reading zone and I think this review might suffer some because of that. I didn't take notes (like I usually do—laptop meltdown and all) and throu...
