The first book I plan to read for the R.I.P. XV challenge is Heart-Shaped Box. It’s been on my list for a really long time. I’ve heard good things. I have high hopes.
Aging, self-absorbed rock star Judas Coyne has a thing for the macabre — his collection includes sketches from infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, a trepanned skull from the 16th century, a used hangman’s noose, Aleister Crowley’s childhood chessboard, etc. — so when his assistant tells him about a ghost for sale on an online auction site, he immediately puts in a bid and purchases it.

Enjoy your RIP books! We started watching Locke and Key on Netflix last night. It’s from a Joe Hill graphic novel series that you probably know all about. I was telling my husband that Joe is Stephen King’s son. We’ll see how the TV adaptation goes.
I have heard of the show but I didn’t know it was associated with Hill. I find that Hill and King are so different when it comes to writing. Good storytellers but King has that sarcastic wit that I love.
I think I read this when it first came out but, don’t remember any of it now LOL – I just was able to download The Vanishing Half from library; started it today – on part 2 and hooked. I know you loved it, I can see why.
I hope you enjoy Hill’s book. I really enjoyed it myself.
Hey Ti! I was thinking of joining in, because I was hoping it would inspire me to read. My reading has fallen way to the wayside lately and I’m not happy about it. I’ve been re-reading old favorites, but I want to read something new. I crave new books and I buy them, but when it comes to reading them I just can’t seem to do it. Ugh. Anyhow, I’m hoping that maybe picking up something for R.I.P. will help me get my reading mojo back. Enjoy the Joe Hill book – looks good!
Definitely join in. You know you only have to pick a few things and I know you will probably be watching Ratched so that counts too.
I enjoyed Heart Shaped Box – I’m compiling my RIP list at the moment too!
Great! I can’t wait to see your list.
It is only three days in…officially…but I’ve been enjoying RIP already.
Enjoy! It’s always amazing to me that so many people enjoy reading scary books. I can’t even think about them without having bad dreams.
The only thing that gives me nightmares is the current administration and the news.
I know that your review for this one is up, but since I’m listening to it, I’ll wait to read it. I hope you have some other recommendations for me.
