So, what was the book like? Well, I really enjoyed this story about a rock star who buys a ghost from the internet. It's a gothic thriller/horror, that is as exciting as King at his best. In fact, their writing style is quite similar, and the novel had a supernatural thread that I love in any King/Koontz, but Joe Hill is a stand-alone and talented author who is fresh and has a lot to offer.
I'm keen to find out what else he has written, and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys King/Koontz. If you are easily spooked though, this is not the book to read before bed time.
My rating = ****

Very interesting, I always wondered if Joe would turn out any good or just be another Julien Lennon. Must have been a large (bear-like) shadow to grow up under.
ReplyDeleteAny connection in the book with the Nirvana song?
