I'm always on the lookout for a good horror story but this one wasn't it. I find that it is hard to pick out a horror novel based on other reviews for what scared them might not scare you and vice versa. I did not get scared on this book nor did I have any nail biting moments. I didn't find myself staying up all night to finish it. I didn't find the horror in it at all. This was my first Joe Hill book and I did find the writing nicely done. The characters were well drawn and the book was fast paced. It just wasn't horrifying for me. I will try another book by Hill to see if I can't get that feeling that I'm looking for.
The story itself is mainly about Jude Coyne who is a rock star. Deep down Jude is a guy who cares but he comes off as someone who doesn't give a crap. That is all going to catch up with him. The dead will bring the living down.
I would recommend this book. Even though it wasn't my cup of tea when it comes to horror, it could be yours.
