This Thursday: JOE HILL Delivers HORNS
Ignatius Martin Perrish spent the night drunk and doing
terrible things. He woke the next morning with a headache, put his hands to his
temples and felt something unfamiliar, a pair of knobby, pointed protuberances.
He was so ill—wet-eyed and weak—he didn’t think anything of it at first, was
too hungover for thinking or worry. But when he was swaying over the toilet, he
glanced at himself in the mirror above the sink and saw he had grown horns
while he slept.
The second son of a renowned musician and doting mother, Ig Perrish has a
privileged life and expectations of a bright future with his childhood
sweetheart, Merrin Williams. But life takes an unexpected dark turn when Merrin
is brutally killed and suspicion falls hard on Ig.
A year passes, but Ig is nowhere near over his grief or his rage . . . feelings
that come to a head in a lost evening of alcohol and hate. When he wakes
the next morning he discovers that he has undergone a surreal transformation,
and is in possession of an incredible power. It isn’t long before he turns his
terrible new abilities towards vengeance. Unfortunately Ig is about to learn
that when
it comes to revenge, the devil is in the details . . .
Joe Hill’s debut novel, Heart-Shaped
Box, was an instant New York Times
bestseller, hit national lists including the Wall
Street Journal and USA
Today, and garnered praise from sources as diverse as the
Joe talks about Horns at ComicCon.
