Heart shaped box goodreads7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() When his girlfriend, whose real name is Mary Beth but he calls Georgia to remind her of where she comes from, sees the ghost as well, she insists they get rid of the suit. For whatever reason Jude knows that he cannot look into the ghost’s eyes or he’ll see something horrible.ĭays go by and more and more strange occurrences happen. Sure enough, on its first night in the house, Jude sees an old man sitting in a chair in his hallway, head down, swinging a pendulum in the shape of a small blade. Certainly not as creepy as Jude was originally hoping for, he stows the suit away out of sight and waits to see what happens with this supposed “ghost”. What arrives is a black, heart-shaped box with a man’s suit in it. So when his personal assistant tells him he found a ghost for sale online for a cool thousand, Jude doesn’t even think twice about scooping it up. Aging rockstar Judas Coyne, aka Jude, has a massive collection of some of the most fucked-up curios one could ever want to own, up to and including a genuine snuff film, the impetus for his wife leaving him years earlier. Though the basic premise seems a bit odd, the way it all unfolds makes a lot of sense. Original, touching and terrifying all at the same time, this is the kind of book that most authors work their whole lives to churn out. Thank God I did, too, because Heart-Shaped Box is truly a kick ass novel. ![]()
