Could not stop reading this book, finished it in one day. Great ghost story and mystery, didn't like the main character Jude at first, but after a while you realize that he is not the person he thinks he is! Highly recommend!

This is a good scary book. I am not a big fan of Stephen King, and this was the first book I read by his son. It was a fast paced, gripping tale that was intensely spooky, at times. A well done story that was very satisfying. Thoroughly enjoyable modern ghost story!

This was a different kind of book and I didn't get into it as quickly as I would have liked but it did grab you and keep you turning the pages. A good read.

If you love Stephen King you should love his son, Joe Hill. This book was a little hard for me to follow but most of King's books are hard for me to follow. For the King fan, this is an good read...good debut novel for Hill. My husband loved it!

Former heavy-metal guitarist Jude Coyne collects various occult items. When a ghost is sold through an internet auction, he makes a quick bid to buy it. Jude is sent an old man's suit, and strange things start to happen around the house. Jude soon finds out he has been targeted. His ex-girlfriend killed herself months after leaving him. Her sister and step-father believe Jude is to blame for the suicide. When the step-father dies, his suit is sent to Jude, ready to exact revenge.

This is one scary book. I only made it through 90 pages before I wimped out and couldn't read anymore. If you like horror, you'll like this book.
