Heart-Shaped Box

Description

Jude has spent a lifetime evading ghosts–his abusive father; the bandmates he betrayed; Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and abandoned. But this spirit is different. This one means to chase him to the edge of sanity.

Craddock McDermott swore he would settle with Jude for ruining his daughter’s life. Soon, everywhere Jude turns, Craddock is there: behind the bedroom door; in Jude’s restored vintage Mustang; outside his window; on his widescreen TV. Waiting–with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one bony hand. If ever there was a case of buyer beware, this is it…
