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 novel of psychological and supernatural suspense, Horns is a devilishly original 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."

I struggled between 3 and 4 stars for this.
The parts that are really good are excellent, but there are several parts that feel like filler. I feel like there were a few stories happening here that were all tied into one story. The beginning is hard to get through. Some of the flashbacks and time skips are jarring.
I'm not sure how I feel about how Ig and Merrin were wrapped up.
I feel really bad for Merrin.
Lee's parts were chilling and some of my favorites. I could be projecting, but it seemed like those parts flowed really well. Maybe the author enjoyed writing them, too.
I like the ending a lot. Glenna is a super relatable character for me personally.

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.
