Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples. At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams. A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which were all too real. Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the blessed: he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more--he had Merrin. But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich and connected parents pulled strings to make the investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside. . . .

Amazing Storyteller!
Joe Hill is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.It's gotten to the point that if the book is written by Joe Hill I'm going to read it .
.....it is the day after the 1st anniversary of your girlfriends rape and murder,which everyone in town thinks you did.
you wake up with a horrible headache, from your previous nights drinking binge. you look in the mirror and find your forehead has sprouted two devilish horns.
every person who sees your horns want to tell you all of their worst thoughts, compelled to seek your advice about acting on them.
and this is just the beginning.....
"Horns" is one of those books that starts out catching your interest right away, grabs on and doesn't let go until it gets you to the end. It's entertaining, exciting but also rather deep and thoughtful, definitely an emotional rollercoaster. The characters are well developed and you can feel an emotional connection to them.
