<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Heart-Shaped Box" returns with a relentless new supernatural thriller. Hill spins a story that's both morbidly amusing and emotionally resonant.--"Publishers Weekly."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Joe Hill's critically acclaimed, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning debut chiller, <em>Heart-Shaped Box</em>, heralded the arrival of new royalty onto the dark fantasy scene. With <em>Horns</em>, 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, <em>20th Century Ghosts</em>, was also honored with a Bram Stoker Award--and whose emotionally powerful and macabre work has been praised by the <em>New York Times</em> as, "wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty...a Valentine from hell."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Heart-Shaped Box</em> returns with a relentless supernatural thriller that runs like Hell on wheels . . .</p><p>Merrin Williams is dead, slaughtered under inexplicable circumstances, leaving her beloved boyfriend Ignatius Perrish as the only suspect. On the first anniversary of Merrin's murder, Ig spends the night drunk and doing awful things. When he wakes the next morning he has a thunderous hangover . . . and horns growing from his temples. Ig possesses a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look--a macabre gift he intends to use to find the monster who killed his lover. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. Now it's time for revenge . . .</p><p><em>It's time the devil had his due. . . .</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Hill's survey of the question of suffering is a wild ride, as filled with thrills as his hero's headlong plunge down to a dark and dazzling river."--<em>Seattle Times</em><br><br>"<i>Horns</i> is dark, twisted, even sometimes funny in a macabre way."--Connie Ogle, Between the Covers, <i> The Miami Herald</i><br><br>"[A] compulsively readable supernatural thriller...Hill spins a story that's both morbidly amusing and emotionally resonant. The explanations for Ig's weird travails won't satisfy every reader, but few will dispute that Hill has negotiated the sophomore slump."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"[Horns is] devilishly good. . . . Hill is a terrific writer with a great imagination. He has a special talent for taking us and his characters to very weird places."--<em>USA Today</em><br><br>"[HORNS is] a creepy murder mystery, a tragic love triangle, and a sweetly wistful coming-of-age story. It's the kind of book that has you laughing on one page, crying on another and making sure the doors and windows are safely locked on a third."--<em>Miami Herald</em><br><br>"As the plot builds through flashbacks and clever exposition, Ig's true nature reveals itself, and the reader is left questioning the traditional border between good and evil....Highly recommended, particularly for fans of Clive Barker and Christopher Moore."--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"<i>Horns</i> is thoroughly enjoyable and often original....a richly nuanced story. Fire and brimstone have rarely looked this good. "--<em>Los Angeles Times</em><br><br>"[A] fresh, tough-minded take on what it means to make a deal with the devil and your own worst nature."--<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em><br><br>"<i>Horns</i> is a pitchfork-packing, prodigal son's take on religion...But the real meat of the story dissects man's relationship with good and evil wihtout sacrificing a bit of suspense...<i>Horns</i> is a mesmerizing page-turner."--Tulsa World<br><br>"<i>Horns</i> is a well wrought tale with intellectual merit. Not only are we entertained, we are challenged to think as well."--New York Journal of Books<br><br>""Darkly comic in places, touching in others, chilling on occassion..."--Valdosta Daily Times<br><br>"a tight and well-plotted murder mystery, as well as a thoughtful meditation on good and evil....[HORNS] establishes Hill as one of the most clever and talented writers working in the genre."--Charleston Post & Courier<br><br>"[D]evilishly good...Hill is a terrificwriter with a greatimagination.

Normalcy is idealized and so precious that its violation is the essence of horror. Joe Hill's sweet, fanged demonology takes us there."--Oregonian<br><br>"This is masterful allegory as Hill proves himself...to be a compelling chronicler of human natures continual war between good and evil."--Providence Journal-Bulletin<br>
