1. Heart-Shaped Box, Joe Hill This one shows up rather quickly because it's a carry-over from a hectic Christmas vacation. A scary book. It has its flaws--I found myself more disgusted with Jude than sympathetic with him through most of the book, and Georgia and Florida both could have ...

I LOVED Heart Shaped Box as well and agree it was like a long gone by Stephen King. Booksloth - sorry your B key is still out of commission. It is getting easier to read your posts though so I must be getting used to it. I can only imagine how annoying it is to be typing those posts!

... I got sucked into buying Under the Dome. It's a lot of book for $9. Rather brick-like. BTW, I loved his son's book, Heart Shaped Box. It reminded me of his father's earlier books and I thought it was pretty darn creepy.

Just received Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Creepy and fascinating read right out of the gate. How would you like to go to an e-bay type site and bid on owning your own ghost? That is what happens to this rock star who owns other ghoulish memorabilia. The outfit that comes with the ghost is ...

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King. I don't read Stephen King, but I adored Heart-Shaped Box. It was deliciously creepy and scary.

#10-Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill-A truly enjoyable read by a talented writer. I could hardly put it down, and it was a quick read but had an underlying message.

I just finished Heart-Shaped Box and it was one of the best ghost stories I've read in a while. Very much the kind of book that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and has you peeking over your shoulder at night to make sure nothing's sneaking up on you. ;) Next up - for a ...

I know, I know, I know I need to read Heart Shaped Box, but the whole 'rock n roll horror' angle is a turn off. Only because when I've seen it attempted before, it has always been bad. Ignorant of me, I admit. Carlos, glad you are liking The Ceremonies more. I was afraid I'd given you a bum ...

I recently read Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill, and it started creeping me out right in the public library in broad daylight. When I got it home, I could barely put it down long enough to make supper.

I finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and just started Heart-Shaped Box.

For a complete change of pace I have next read Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I was a little surprised to find that I liked this very scary ghost story. I think that if someone writes well, it doesn't matter what they write about and Hill writes well, not exceptionally so, but ...

I'm reading The Tattoo Murder Case by Akimitsu Takagi, a Japanese mystery novel written in the late 1940s, and Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill, which was so talked about here I had to read it too.

I hope you try 20th Century Ghosts. I enjoyed it as much if not more than Heart Shaped Box. The stories show such diversity.

36. Heart-Shaped Box, Joe Hill (category 9) *** I love horror and ghost stories (no vampires though, plz,) but it's so difficult to put a fresh spin on traditionally terrifying things.

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill (This book is seriously creepy!)

More than the scariness, what I most remember about Heart-Shaped Box is the main character feeling very believable and interesting and real. I like Hill's writing style, too. It's not fancy, but it reads very smoothly.

I ended up buying a copy of Heart-Shaped Box last weekend after hearing a few people tell me how frightening it was. Now to bump it up a little in the reading queue.

31. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill (2.5 out of 5) A fast paced ghostly thriller. A ghost is for sale on the internet and Jude, an ageing rock star, collects the macabre. But when the ghost is delivered he soon realises it has it own agenda, one of revenge. Well this was ok, madly ...

You know, you do have Heart Shaped Box in your TBR pile, that is a body part...and a few of us have already read it for the 999 challenge - I'm just saying. :) Unless you'd like to start down the path of graphic novels and try out Torso by Brian Michael Bendis - I promise it's more ...

I second Heart-Shaped Box. I just finished that one- it's really creepy and I love Joe Hill's writing. I'd recommend his short story collection 20th Century Ghosts even more. The Keeper and The Missing by Sarah Langan are also really good. I'd say they're more disturbing than ...

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill is a must! Books don't usually scare me, but this one had me looking in corners and around doors.

KIK. I have not read Heart-Shaped Box, but I have read A Mango-Shaped Space.

... haven't read The Wife of Bath, I haven't read Bath Tangle, I haven't read The Tangle Box, but I have read Heart-Shaped Box. phew.

Glad you agreed on Heart-Shaped Box. For me, the King feel had to do with how Hill used some of the same types of images.....off the top of my head, having the character chased on the highway, which is a popular King image. Looking forward to more from him.

... reread it a couple times already. It's a cute little children's story. Then... when I was grabbing an envelope to pack Heart-Shaped Box to mail out to a BookMooch member, I noticed one of the envelopes felt heavy. I opened it up and found a book in it :-D Politically Correct Bedtime Stori ...

Koontz has been criticized before about the hollywood endings. Loved Heart Shaped Box and have been looking for a good used copy of Twentieth Century Ghosts There is a definite King feel to his story but it's not as though he was aping his dad.....he's got his own unique voice also.

Koolaidmom, I hope you enjoy Heart-Shaped Box as much as I did. If you enjoy shorts, try his 20th Century Ghosts. It's very good. He did inherit his dad's talents and thank god, he has more than his mom. (Sorry, Tabitha)

... this week, and am now caught up to where I need to be to finish 75 books by December 31st. I'm getting ready to start Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, but LOST is on tonight, so I probably won't get much of the book done until tomorrow :-)

I enjoyed Heartshaped Box very much. Have you tried his 20th Century Ghosts? It's a collection of shorts. Very good.

34. Heartshaped Box This was an impulse pick up at the library. There have been many reviews of this book so I will just say this is a great thriller/ghost story that was difficult to put down. It's the story of an aging rock star Jude and his girlfriend Georgia. Jude likes to collect eerie/d ...

Hmm... am I the only one who didn't think much of Heart-shaped box? I don't read many horror books but this one was highly recommended by a friend who found it so creepy she refused to read it in the evenings. I'm currently (still) reading Brighton Rock by Graham Greene, and The Eyre Affair ...

... after reading this book. I fourth or fifth The Shining and 'Salem's Lot(wow, that's the wrong touchstone) too. Heart-Shaped Box is also good. It's by Stephen King's son, so you know he learned from the best.

>26 I actually hadn't planned to read Heart Shaped Box for the challenge. It was languishing on my TBR shelf. But then I saw someone else reading it, and I had a spot open in a category that fit, so, why not? I'm glad I did. Behold, the power of LT!

It looks like a a few of us did Heart Shaped Box in the last week or so! Oooh - spooky! :) I did like it!

#22 - that is a great book #23 - I thought Heart Shaped Box was a real return to old fashioned horror. I really enjoyed it. And I am still reading A Fine Balance. If I can tear myself away from LT, I might even finish it :o)

I finished Heart Shaped Box today - I must give Joe Hill some credit for great descriptive writing. He really can paint a picture without having to take 4000 words to get through a scene. I ended up taking this one in to read at lunch because I kept wanting to find out what was going to happen. ...

@rxqueen82 Heart Shaped Box was EXCELLENT. The kid can write! Joe Hill also writes a graphic novel called Locke and Key that is really good and creepy.

I just started Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. It's not for my 999 but it's been on my shelf forever and it's calling to me. I may work it into my Monster Mash category.... not sure yet.

I've got Heart Shaped Box on my TBR too. I've been wondering what to read next. I think you've inspired me to tackle it.

I've started Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box - sadly, it's the first book from my "TBR Too Long" list. It's almost March and it's the first book I'm picking from that list - go figure! :)

... (I know!), I figured I'd pull from my own TBR pile first. Joe Hill's short stories have been good, so the full book, Heart Shaped Box is next!

Just read Heart-Shaped box in a little over 4 hours straight through with a ~20 min break to get milk and chocolate and talk to my brother, really pleased with that because I can't remember the last time I read straight through a book in one go, though I did used to some years ago. Not that I don' ...

#2: Thank you for your suggestion. I agree; Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill would be a prime candidate for the Ghost & Demons category. Of course I will post the final list! Hope it will be a great one too... :)

You already have one by Joe Hill and several by Stephen King, but I would recommend that you add Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill to your Ghosts & Demons category. I've read 12 of the books you have listed so far. Please post your final list. You've got a great one started!

... Hung together well, intriguing concepts. Ending didn't work for me but a worthy effort. Then I started Joe Hill's HEART-SHAPED BOX and so far find it quite derivative--a horror novel with little to recommend it...except Mr. Hill happens to be the son of another kinda famous horror ...

All finished with Heart-Shaped Box and will be starting No Country for Old Men soon.

I absolutely loved Heart-Shaped Box! Joe Hill is going to be one of those few authors that I automatically go out and buy whatever new book they have out. (Bad sentence structure on my part! Oh well. :) )

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

... Home - I will be starting A Light in the Attic for Banned Book Week, which should be a quick read, and the I'm off to Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I haven't read a horror story in years - perhaps it will get me in the mood for Halloween. =)

I loved Heart Shaped Box and now I'm smack in the middle of 20th Century Ghosts and I like it even more. That may be because I'm a huge short story fan, but good stuff non the less. PS I wonder if he'll be as gracious if we all bombard him with messages now?

I finally finished Heart Shaped Box, and I can honestly say that I am very impressed. I was kind of expecting it to be sorta a bit reminiscent of his father's work but it turned out I was so wrong about that (so much so that now I feel like I need to apologize to him!) the style and voice are ...

I accidentally bought Heart-Shaped Box by not telling QPB to not send it. I almost always keep oops-I-forgot-to-tell-them-no books just on the off chance one's a keeper. H-SB was - I loved it, and went to Joe Hill's website. He mentioned LibraryThing there. I came here, was enthralled, bought ...

I've never picked up one of his books, but after reading all this praise I'm running out to get 20th Century Ghosts and Heart Shaped Box tonight.

The top of my list for horror has to be Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill followed very closely by one of his dad's books, It by Stephen King. I love King's books, but I don't find them particularly scary in the "stay up at night" sense. The two I've mentioned were in that category!

# 99 Saraslibrary - I'd definitely give Heart Shaped Box another go, although I have to say I got into it right from the start. I wouldn't say it was scary particularly, but I do think it's well written. I would read other books by him. # 100 D2vge - Thanks! I'm going to get it if I can... ...

... Anyone else read this one--or any Douglas Clegg for that matter? #98: It must be me, but I've tried to start Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill a couple times, and I just can't get into it. Maybe I'll try again. . . .

I'm currently reading and loving Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box I have about a quarter of the book left. Incidentally, whilst mooching around today, I've come across The Saragossa Manuscript: Weird Tales by Count Jan Potocki. Anyone read this? If so what did you think and should I invest ...

... Century Ghosts by Joe Hill? I have heard good things and bad things about it. I kind of want to read this one before Heart Shaped Box, all opinions are welcome. Oh and I finished City of the Sea and Other Ghost Stories, it wasn't what I was expecting, but still very good.

... at work! I finished it at work and was glad it was lunchtime. I have Thirteen Moons but haven't read it yet. I loved Heart-Shaped Box. I've never read any Stephen King (gasps from the audience!) and was surprised to learn that Joe Hill is his son. Got HSB accidentally from Book-o ...

Oh man! I finished Heart Shaped Box (after forgetting it at home while I was away at a conference) and boy, was it good. My official review will be posted soon butin a nutshell, very creepy, very suspensful, and very well written. It really did remind me of the old King stuff, you know lots of ...

So I finally started Heart Shaped Box last night, and it's really good so far. I'll let you all know if I'm still a fan by the time I'm done.

I absolutely adored Heart-Shaped Box. I don't read Stephen King, and didn't know Joe Hill was his son when I got this book, but I devoured it. Any favorite re-reads that strike your fancy? I sometimes like a good solid re-read, sort of comfort food for the mind. Mysteries are ...

Joe Hill, who is Steven Kings son wrote Heart-Shaped Box. I just picked it up because LTers liked it.

I really enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box! I got it as an audiobook and it made great commute listening.

Madcow- I'm just the opposite. I've read Heart Shaped Box, which I have to reccomend with gusto! Soon as I get off of LB I'm going to check out 20th Century Ghosts, I've been seeing way too many good things about it not to order it now!

... stories did as well by voluntary commitment was really fantastic, like what King's stories have done to me. I want to get Heart Shaped Box now and see how he does with a full novel.

I bought Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill after seeing it on the list, applying for it, and missing out. I think I grabbed a hardcover off of half.com or something like that for fairly cheap, and I was glad. My review is up, and though it wasn't spectacular or anything, I was glad I'd gotten the ...

Well I read much of Heart Shaped Box and was actually a bit bored. Stephen King stories usually disgust rather than scare me. But I'm reading a book right now called Song of Kali by Dan Simmonsthat has me shaking like a frightened bunny in bed at night. I don't think I want it around the ...

Heart Shaped Box is good. I enjoyed it.

... and "Last Breath" -- and some comfy rip-offs -- "You Will Hear the Locust Sing." I would also recommend his novel Heart-shaped Box. The first section of that novel is the best, VERY creepy, then goes down-hill. Maybe Hill is best when delivering short stories... Speaking of his rip-o ...

5. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill Creepy, good read, I thought the first half was better than the second. The one image that really stuck with me was the little girl who was abducted years before and people could see her ghost being taken out of the yard, just like when she was a child. It still ...

I read both Heart shaped Box and 20th Century Ghosts. Wonderful books. 20th Century Ghosts is his short stories.

I read Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill and I thought it was great! The book was horror, but it was not his dad's book. He definately added his own flavor.

Heart Shaped Box would be a cool movie.

Ghost Story by Peter Straub Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill Try the Thing(amabrarians) that go bump in the night group

Two of my favorite things, LT and NPR! Although I found out about LT on Joe Hill's website (author of Heart-Shaped Box).

Awful I know, but I'm waiting for the Heart-Shaped Box paperback. It doesn't sound like it would be my kinda thing because in the past music and horror haven't mixed well. (Admitedly, this is based mainly on so many of those cheese-o straight to video '80's flicks.)

I like Joe Hill, I can't imagine being Stephen King's offspring. Heart-shaped box was pretty good, 20th Century Ghosts is on my TBL (let me know how you like it, might travel faster up the list)

I loved Ghost Story. Has anyone read Joe Hill? His Heart-shaped Box was very weird and disturbing. I'm now reading his 20th Century Ghosts It's a collection of his short stories.

28. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill I love a good horror story. And I thought this one was good! Jude - an aging rocker - buys a ghost on ebay and when it arrives, his life is turned upside down. This had all the necessary scary moments and kept me reading into the night.

Yesterday I started listening to Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill and got immediately sucked in. I'm looking forward to my commute this morning. After 2 months of Moby Dick it's a WELCOME change of pace!

Today I finished Heart-Shaped Box, which I really enjoyed, and read Coraline, which terrified me inordinately (maybe because I live alone). I'm writing now (in theory), but I'm starting Stardust next.

I liked Heart-Shaped Box as well, the appearance of the ghost was very creepily done and the rest of the story was believable and gripping. I bought 20th Century Ghosts at the beginning of the year and enjoyed those stories too.

... which is supposed to be my lunchtime read, except I've been working through lunch lately... BTW, I thought Heart-shaped Box was pretty good!

Still working on Heart-Shaped Box.

LV, how is heart shaped box? I've picked it up on several occasions, but it never makes it home with me. I've had a glorious weekend so far! It's what happens when you are the non planning sort of person. I think it's awesome not knowing what will happen next. Well, I have to go meet some ...

... Tomorrow I'm going to the gym (after a terrible, terrible attack of laziness), cleaning the apartment, writing, finishing Heart-Shaped Box, and cleaning my horrifyingly mess apartment.

Here I am again: I can't combine 'Zwart hart' ( http://www.librarything.com/work/4827954/book/27362013 ) with Heart-shaped box by Joe Hill. It doesn't even shows up on his author page...

Finished Fragile Things, and am deeply enjoying Heart-Shaped Box. I had forgotten how fun a good horror book can be.

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill

I got a hardback copy of Heart-Shaped Box for 25 cents at a library book sale. This book had been on my wish list since I found out that the author was Stephen King's son. I also bought Birds of Eastern and Central North America this past weekend as I decided to get into birdwatching again ...

#22 Funny you should ask that, Linda. I started Heart Shaped Box awhile ago but it so annoyed me that I put it down after a few chapters and never bothered to go back to it. The characters were well drawn, and the writing was good, but the story didn't grab me and I absolutely despised the ...

#21 Mary, did you read Heart Shaped Box ? I'd be curious what you thought of it, if you did. I haven't tried Hill's short fiction yet, but I wondered if it would appeal to me more than the novel did.

Glad you enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box - it was pretty spooky, wasn't it! Did you find it hard to put down? I read it while jet-lagged...which meant that not being able to sleep wasn't such a bad thing.

I'm not an LT writer-reader but will recommend Joe Hill, who is an LT author, if you haven't already come across him. Heart Shaped Box is his first novel and 20th Century Ghosts is his book of short stories. He is also Stephen King's son and I think is just as talented. I checked your ...

63. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill - I absolutely loved this book. I thought the writing was good, I thought the subject matter was different and while it was a bit on the gory side, I felt the author knew just how far to take it - any more and I wouldn't have been able to read it. I highly ...

70. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Meh. I guess this was good horror (is that not an oxymoron?). It was well written; the characters (even the undead ones) were real and true. And I'm certainly not averse to a ripping horrific tale. The Other and The Green Mile, Salem's Lot, The ...

... had to set it aside, but I'm moving through it very quickly. I love this team of detectives. bookaholicgirl, I loved Heart Shaped Box. It probably says something about me that I was half in love with the main character, dreadfully flawed as he was, by mid-way through the book.

... and terms and find it hard to read this quickly. I hope to finish it this weekend or early next week and then start either Heart Shaped Box or Lean Mean Thirteen.

Just finished Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill this morning. Absolutely loved it. I recommend it to anyone who wants page-turning, seat of your pants suspense with a side bit of horror. Too bad this man doesn't have a back list, this is his 1st book, or I'd be reading everything on it. Just ...
