This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month's selection is Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Judas Coyne is a collector
of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals ... a used hangman's noose a snuff film. An aging
death-metal rock god, his taste for the unnatural is as widely known to his legions of fans as the
notorious excesses of his youth. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his
latest discovery, an item for sale on the Internet, a thing so terribly strange, Jude can't help but
reach for his wallet." "I will "sell" my stepfather's ghost to the highest bidder. ... For a thousand
dollars, Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's suit, said to be haunted by a restless
spirit. He isn't afraid. He has spent a lifetime coping with ghosts - of an abusive father, of the
lovers he callously abandoned, of the band-mates he betrayed. What's one more?" "But what UPS
delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost, no benign
conversation piece. It's the real thing." "And suddenly the suit's previous owner is everywhere:
behind the bedroom door ... seated in Jude's restored vintage Mustang ... standing outside his
window ... staring out from his widescreen TV. Waiting - with a gleaming razor blade on a chain
dangling from one bony hand. For additional information click
