This was a rather too long story of an aging rocker and collector of occult memorabilia who buys a ghost over the internet, and then spends the rest of the novel trying to get away from it.
The writing style is extremely similar to Stephen King even to the way he brings up music references, baseball references and repeating certain phrases throughout the novel.
A few years ago, I would have probably enjoyed it, however I do feel that Stephen King has done this all before, and that really there is nothing new here.
I think that Joe Hill is the exponent of the short story, rather than a writer of novels.
