heart shaped box


heart shaped box, originally uploaded by awungfoo.

Joe Hill's novel Heart Shaped Box is scaring the shit out of me. It's been a long time since I've read anything that gives me goosebumps. Even Stephen King can't write like this. I recently read The Ruins and there was a forward from Stephen King noting how this book was the new genre of horror etc. Well, after reading 1/2 way, I started skimming it and found it lacking in suspense or imagination. So what did I do? I went to see the movie and boy was it fucking retarded.

I'm only on chapter 7 and I have to say that this book even after only 6 chapters was better than the entire The Ruins.

Check it out.
