![]() ![]() The book is at least in part an investigation into whether or not anyone ever really walks away from their past clean. Because before he was Judas Coyne, my hero was Justin Cowzynski, a lonely, desperate country kid, a person so unhappy he finally could not stand to be himself anymore, and so had to become someone else. In addition to being a supernatural thriller, I also think it's a story on a classic American theme - the possibility of reinvention, of casting off the person you used to be, and creating a new and more satisfying identity for yourself. If ever there was a case of caveat emptor, this is it. Delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box, the latest addition to Jude's collection means to chase him to the limits of sanity - and beyond. This ghost isn't just in his head it's real. Some impulses require no consideration.īut this ghost is different from the spirits that have haunted Jude most of his life: the abusive father he fled as a boy, the bandmates he betrayed, the lover he abandoned and who killed herself. So naturally when he learns there's a ghost for sale on the internet, Jude doesn't think twice. He has a used hangman's noose, a cookbook for cannibals, a snuff movie. Rock star Judas Coyne is a collector of the bizarre and the grotesque. Here's the description, straight from the author's site: Subterranean Press is proud to announce the limited edition of Joe Hill's first novel.
