Synopsis
'Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphanalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock. But the rest of his collection doesn't make the house feel cold. The bones don't make the dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel as if he's being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life ...

8 out of 10

I thought this was pretty entertaining, and certainly worth reading. Didn't send shivers down my spine, but still a good read with likable characters and interesting plot.

Gorgous, but very heavy hardcover - so probably UK-only trade/relays or I will release somewhere special at a later date...

I finished reading it... and really enjoyed it!
This is like Stephen King's first novels... and that is a compliment coming from me!
Really well written and compelling; I loves the characters, particularly Marybeth /Florida.
I will keep it for a while,until I decide what to do with it.
Thanks for sharing!
