This is a 100-word book review.
Judas (Jude) Coyne is an ageing death-metal rock god. He buys a ghost, and a package arrives containing the dead man’s suit inside a black heart-shaped box. The ghost is real and is hell-bent on ensuring that Jude dies and pays back for what happened to his deceased ex-girlfriend, who was the ghost’s stepdaughter. Jude refuses to go down so easily. Together with his very young new girlfriend, Georgia, they fight to their last breath. I admire their tenacity (I might have given up). The characters are so believable—a great first novel by Joe Hill. This scary thriller has indeed spooked me!
