Critics Review
“Hill is flawless in his ability to articulate frailties that humanize his characters and make the vulnerable to intrusions of the strange … . One of the most confident and assured new voices in horror and dark fantasy to emerge in recent years.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box starts with a premise that is as simple as it is brilliant: a ghost for sale on the Internet. But here is a tale that is far from a one-trick pony. It chills with every word, surprises with every page, and twists with every chapter. Here is a debut as literate as it is horrifying … and the resounding introduction of a new master in the field of suspense.” - James Rollins

“Heart-Shaped Box… rocks. It’s a flat-out, white-line, turbo-charged, relentless, bleakly humorous, and, above all, honest story … Hill’s fealty to the autumnal suspirations of the darkest sorts of dread is instantly apparent. And this, as they say, is just the beginning.” - Austin Chronicle
