Heart-Shaped Box

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.

The black, heart-shaped box that Coyne receives in the mail not only contains the suit of a dead man but also his vengeance-obsessed spirit. The ghost, it turns out, is the stepfather of a young groupie who committed suicide after the 54-year-old Coyne callously used her up and threw her away. Now, determined to kill Coyne and anyone who aids him, the merciless ghost of Craddock McDermott begins his assault on the rocker's sanity.

Starul rock in varsta, autoabsorbat, Judas Coyne are un lucru pentru macabru - colectia sa include schite de la infamul criminal in serie John Wayne Gacy, un craniu trepanat din secolul al XVI-lea, un lat de spanzura folosit, tabla de sah din copilaria lui Aleister Crowley etc. - - asa ca atunci cand asistentul sau ii spune despre o fantoma de vanzare pe un site de licitatii online, el face imediat o oferta si o cumpara.
