I’m an evangelist for this book. Everyone must read Terry Pratchett.
Heart-Shaped Box
HEART-SHAPED BOX is, quite simply, the best debut horror novel since Clive Barker’s Damnation Game, twenty years ago. It’s the kind of book that the overworked adjectives people use on book jackets — relentless, gripping, powerful, a genuine page-turner — were really meant to describe, for it’s all of those things, and enormously smart besides. A genuinely scary novel filled with people you care about; the kind of book that still stays in your mind after you’ve turned over the final page. I loved it unreservedly.
