Book description
Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought it,
in the shape of 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 . . . Joe Hill is a recipient of
the Ray Bradbury Fellowship and the winner of the A. E. Coppard Long
Fiction Prize, William Crawford, World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Bram
Stoker and International Horror Guild Awards. His short fiction has
appeared in literary, mystery and horror collections and magazines in
Britain and America.
