L'annuncio su Internet di una tipa che vuole liberarsi di certi sgradevoli effetti paranormali attira l'attenzione di Judas Coyne, rockstar miliardaria con un debole per il macabro. Del resto, la collezione del cinquantenne dio del death metal - che annovera, tra l'altro, il cranio di un indemoniato, la confessione di una strega, un cappio consunto dall'uso - è universalmente nota, come gli spettacolari eccessi del suo possessore. Il musicista si aggiudica l'articolo e una mattina gli viene recapitata una scatola a forma di cuore con dentro un abito scuro. Jude è una vita che se la fa con gli spettri, ma stavolta è diverso. Stavolta non si tratta del ricordo del padre violento, di una band decimata, di groupie usa e getta, stavolta è l'orrore puro. Una presenza misteriosa ma innegabilmente reale si installa nella casa e incomincia a perseguitarlo. Un silenzioso vecchio signore vestito di nero, con un piccolo rasoio che gli pende da polso, appare nelle zone d'ombra e costringe il suo segretario a impiccarsi, cerca di far marcire viva Georgia, la giovanissima amante, ma soprattutto vuole infilarsi nella testa di Jude. Per indurlo a suicidarsi. Perché? Che colpe ha mai commesso? Una fuga disperata verso l'origine di tutto rivelerà chi è la vera vittima... Da un autore che ha l'horror del DNA, un'opera destinata a diventare un cult. Joe Hill è lo pseudonimo di Joseph Hillstrom King, 1972, figlio (ebbene sì) di Stephen King ed erede del talento paterno per l'horror. Scrittore pluripremiato per i suoi racconti (che gli hanno valso, tra l'altro, ben due Bram Stoker Award), membro della Ray Bradbury Fellowship, dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta '20th Century Ghosts' è considerato una promessa della letteratura del genere. Questo è il suo primo romanzo. The supernatural thriller 'Heart-Shaped Box' is two-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Joe Hill's first published novel. The main character is a self-indulgent middle-aged rock star Jude Coyne who has maintains a hobby collecting morbid artifacts. Because he sees his hobby as only an amusing side interest, he does not hesitate to purchase through an online auction site, a man's suit described as being haunted by its recently dead owner's ghost. It is only after Jude receives the suit, shipped in a heart-shaped box, that he finds out that it belonged to the stepfather of one of the rock star's groupies who committed suicide after Judas discarded her. It turns out that the old man's ghost is determined to kill Judas as revenge for his stepdaughter's suicide and, after acquiring the dead man's suit, everywhere Jude looks he sees the disturbingly distorted image of an old man with a razor hanging from a chain on his ring finger. Joe Hill is the pseudonym of Joseph Hillstrom King, born 1972, son of Stephen King and an apparent heir of his father's talent for horror. He is an award-winning writer for his short fiction which has earned him, among other things, two Bram Stoker Awards and a Ray Bradbury Fellowship. His first book, the collection of his stories titled '20th Century Ghosts' has generated considerable interest in his potential as a writer in horror literature. 5.5"x8.6", 368 pages. Soddisfazione garantita (satisfaction guaranteed). FL0050
