Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Trivia - Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King

Summary from Amazon
Middle-aged rock star Judas Coyne collects morbid curios for fun, so doesn't think twice about buying a suit advertised at an online auction site as haunted by its dead owner's ghost. Only after it arrives does Judas discover that the suit belonged to Craddock McDermott, the stepfather of one of Coyne's discarded groupies, and that the old man's ghost is a malignant spirit determined to kill Judas in revenge for his stepdaughter's suicide. Judas isn't quite the cad or Craddock the avenging angel this scenario makes them at first, but their true motivations reveal themselves only gradually in a fast-paced plot that crackles with expertly planted surprises and revelations.

  1. I have not read Joe Hill yet. I did know he was Stephen King's son.

  2. I've been meaning to read one of Joe Hill's books since I LOVE Stephen King, but still haven't. I have read Tabitha King though, and like her writing too.
