Horns: A Novel
Joe Hill’s critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning debut chiller, Heart-Shaped Box, heralded the arrival of new royalty onto the dark fantasy scene. With Horns, he polishes his well-deserved crown. A twisted, terrifying new horror novel of psychological and supernatural suspense, Horns is a devilishly original revenge story and a triumph for the Ray Bradbury Fellowship recipient whose story collection, 20th Century Ghosts, was also honored with a Bram Stoker Award—and whose emotionally powerful and macabre work has been praised by the New York Times as, "wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty…a Valentine from hell."

This may be a good book for somebody else, but I just could not get into it. I tried really hard and I was really excited about it, but it just didn't work. I honestly did not finish it because it just did not keep me gripped. For a book about a boy that sprouts horns overnight and people start just sprouting off what they really think to him I figured it would be awesome.
Although marketed as a horror, this read just as much as a love story to me. Creative and new, I was charmed by the well-developed characters and Ig's surprising new devilish influence. I felt the story could have (and should have) been cut down by about 25% because it ran long and even repeated in several places, but it was a good read and I'm glad I invested the time. I love Hill's work and this is a solid book.
