Hell Phone

A modern murder story with a devilish twist

Master of horror William Sleator has created another creepy, heart-pumping classic in Hell Phone. Nick wants a cell phone so he can talk to his girlfriend, Jen, after school, and the used phone he buys seems like a bargain. That is, until the phone calls begin€"demanding, disturbed strangers calling night and day. At first Nick wants to get rid of the phone, but the creepy callers and the phone€s ghoulish games pull him into a web of crime, pushing him to steal, con. . . and kill.

Fans of Sleator€s The Boy Who Couldn€t Die will enjoy this equally diabolical thriller.
