I didn’t know what to expect from Joe Hill in Horns as this was first time to read him. I also don’t read a lot of horror, but I am not sure this is horror; This is more like a dark fantasy.
Ig woke up a mess, hungover and not able to remember a lot about the night before. So how did these horns get on his head.
Ig is a wonderful and charming boy, living a little in the shadow of his greater older brother and his formerly great father. As he bust out of his shell to become his own man, boy meets girl. Merrin steals Ig’s heart and in a few years, her murder shatters Ig life.
This dark fantasy plays out in 4 acts. Each twist and turn of the plot are as wonderful as a ride down the valley in a well tuned sports car. The forces of good and evil become blurred and mixed. At some point i think “Wait, am I rooting for the devil to win?”
This book will make you lose a little sleep. Because you won’t want to leave without finding out what is next. Horns
