Pre-owned - See photos for condition

Thirteen-year-old Jack Finney is alone, frightened, and running out of time. For years, a killer has been abducting boys from his town, and now Jack is trapped in the man’s basement, surrounded by the ghosts of what came before. His only connection to the outside world is a disconnected antique telephone that shouldn’t work at all.

But the phone rings.

On the other end are the voices of the killer’s previous victims, calling from beyond the grave. They know what the man is capable of, and they are determined to help Jack survive what they could not.

“The Black Phone” is a chilling, inventive tale of terror and resilience, blending supernatural horror with brutal realism. It is one of the standout stories in Joe Hill’s acclaimed collection 20th Century Ghosts, a book that established him as a major voice in modern horror and dark fantasy.
