Synopsis
Aging death-metal rock legend Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals...a used hangman's noose...a snuff film. But nothing he possesses is as unique or as dreadful as his latest purchase off the Internet: a one-of-a-kind curiosity that arrives at his door in a black heart-shaped box...a musty dead man's suit still inhabited by the spirit of its late owner. And now everywhere Judas Coyne goes, the old man is there—watching, waiting, dangling a razor blade on a chain from his bony hand.
Reviews
Had a hard time staying interested. Half way thru, I just put in the last CD so I could see how it ended. Glad I didn't waste more time listening to the whole think.
I found the description of the book more interesting than the book itself.
I loved this book and just started listening to it this morning better than horns Joe hill is a talented writer and it shows in his set up and follow through of this story
Didn't even finish the book...no interest.
Loved, loved, loved this book! Really a great story and wonderful character development. At the begining, I found myself really disliking Judas Coyne, but by the end of the book I was a big fan. I particularly enjoyed this writer's style--descriptive, but not overly so, yet able to paint vivid images in the readers' mind. This book had me on the edge of my seat and completely drew me in. Would love to see this made into a movie...
