Judas, Georgia, Angus and Bon go on the run in an attempt to get away from the ghost, and they now have some idea of who he is, and why he may have a personal vendetta against Judas. Joe Hill (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Netflix) After receiving an email about a supposedly haunted man’s suit, he, of course, buys the suit, and it comes delivered in a heart-shaped box. Heart-Shaped Box is the story of aging former rock star Judas Coyne, who has a very morbid collection of cursed, haunted, or just plain strange items. Joe Hill received a 2007 Bram Stoker award for Best First Novel, so I am not alone in my love with this creepy, wonderful book. The initial advance edition of Heart-Shaped Box sold out its entire 500 copies within days of the announcement, and the second printing sold out within a matter of hours. It’s a source of eternal sorrow for me that it has never been adapted for film, a fact I discussed with Hill in my interview for 1428 Elm. Yes, THAT Stephen King.īut, before anyone was aware of who his father was, Joe Hill wrote his first novel, Heart-Shaped Box, which just happens to be a favorite of mine. His co-writer for In the Tall Grass was his father, Stephen King. He also wrote the novel Horns, which was adapted for film, and co-wrote the novella In the Tall Grass, which became a Netflix film. Joe Hill wrote fan favorites NOS4A2 and Locke & Key, both of which were adapted as series. Readers not familiar with Heart-Shaped Box are still most likely familiar with its author, Joe Hill.
