Book review: The Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
I enjoy a scary book, but the good ones are few and far between. This one is truly creepy, menacing, the kind of book
This is not a highbrow read by any means, but what makes it a cut above are the rich characterizations and the attempts to say something a little substantive about human frailty, the awful mistakes we all make, and the possibility of redemption. The seams show in the plotting occasionally, but overall - wow.
