Reddit reviews Heart-Shaped Box

His son, Joe Hill, is also a very good writer. I found Heart Shaped Box and NOS482 pretty creepy.

I also really like Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon as a different kind of scary. A slow build scary. You'll probably have to go to your local library to find a copy.

I've been reading a lot of horror recently, so I can suggest a few off the top of my head.

Hell House by Richard Matheson

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill

The Shining by Steven King

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (You might hate this one.)

Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay

Also, I'm not sure if you're into comics, but there's a bunch of great horror there. I recommend Locke and Key, Colder, and Wytches.

I haven't read too many horror novels honestly. I think I was most scared by Heart-Shaped Box. Kind of an average story--guy buys a box with a suit in it that's haunted by this guy's grandfather's ghost.

I'm about a third of the way through Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I don't usually read horror except for the occasional Stephen King, and I think that this has been sitting on my TBR shelf since it first came out. I'm quite enjoying it- the characters could have easily been flat but aren't, and it's the right level of scary for me. I can certainly see why he's so popular/award winning.

Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box. A classic ghost tale story where a guy is running around trying to avoid the ghost from killing him while at the same time trying to figure out who cursed him/how to stop it. If you don't recognize his name, you'll recognize his father: Stephen King. I actually prefer Joe Hill over Stephen King though...

Heart Shaped Box was pretty good. It had it's creepy moments.

Hmm...well, the writer of The Circle wrote a memoir about his post-college days, with a really pretentious title. I have always really liked it, but the reviews are mixed.

The Stolen Child is pretty cool. It's a little different, I hadn't read anything like it before, and got through it quick.

My personal favorite is American Gods. Little weird, but if you're into it, it will really pull you in quick.

And if you're into something creepier, Heart-Shaped Box (not to be confused with the Nirvana song) is probably one of the scariest things I've ever read.

And then as far as YA is concerned, I just discovered Jennifer Hubbard last week - met her at a writing conference.

And then I had never heard of House of Leaves - but it looks SO cool, so thank you haha
