A 2007 horror novel by [[Joe Hill]].
 
Semi-retired rockstar Judas Coyne likes to compliment his dark and edgy persona with a [[Collector of the Strange|collection of strange and macabre items]], most donated by his fans. These include things like a witch's confession, a used hangman's noose, and a genuine [[Snuff Film]] (which he only saw once, then locked away forever). One day, he is sent an email directing his attention to the online auction of a dead man's suit, evidently still haunted by the dead man's ghost.
Line 7:
 
Soon enough, the suit is delivered to his place in a [[Title Drop|heart-shaped box]]. And what do you know... the ghost reveals himself to be real! Except the dead man, Craddock McDermott, a hypnotist and occultist in life, doesn't like Jude one bit. It turns out Jude unknowingly has a connection with the dead man, and the real ghosts of his past are about to come back with a vengence.
