On a cold October night, five people gather in a run-down motel on the Jersey shore and begin preparations to break into the Paragon Hotel. Built in the glory days of Asbury Park by a reclusive millionaire, the magnificent structure - which foreshadowed the beauties of art deco architecture - is now boarded up and marked for demolition.

I loved the idea around this book; investigating an old house and finding out secrets...and the story stayed riveting three quarters of the way through..I wanted to know more aobut each mystery...but then it just seemed to just grind away...

Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest discovery, a thing so terrible-strange, Jude can't help but reach for his wallet. For a thousand dollars, Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's suit, said to be haunted by a restless spirit. But what UPS delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost. It's the real thing.

I felt sorry for the characters. The story was scary and exciting but characters were more negative than I thought they should have been. It was a very enjoyable but dark story, with a "surprise ending"

I really enjoyed this story. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. It was well worth my time. Joe Hill has his own style and once I got over the fact that he isn't his dad I really liked his own unique style.

The main characters had well quirky personalities and I enjoyed them very much. They showed great humor in the face of poverty and violence. The overall story grew tiresome after some time. Maybe it should have ended sooner. Maybe i'm just not into aliens...or maybe it was the narrator?

family intrigue, horror, and mystery. I enjoyed this story quite a bit and often couldn't wait to get back to it. The narration was well done as well. The voodoo was interesting but not overwhelming.

This is perfection...To hear Stephen Kings words made this book come so alive for me. The story combines elements that I love, family intrigue, horror, mystery, the ocean, and best of all-the interactions between friends. I just love Kings converational style...loved it, loved it, loved it!
