Horns

“…and everyone knows the devil doesn’t get to be the good guy.”

When Ignatius Perrish wakes up from a drunken night he finds he’s sprouted horns. Hungover and afraid he heads home to his roommate who begins to confess her sins of the night before. So Ig’s surreal experience continues. Already a pariah because the town thinks that he killed his childhood sweetheart, Merrin, now with each person he meets the horns pull out their sinful thoughts and acts, including details of Merrin’s murder. Between flashbacks and Ig’s new abilities the story of Ig and his closest friends plays out to a fiery conclusion. One part a meditation on sin, the Devil, and God, one part suspenseful macabre horror—Hill’s second novel is a smart surreal page-turner. Fans of Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker check this out.
