by Joe Hill This is certainly an original concept and I found the progression of the story very interesting, although some of the twisted thoughts of the bad guy in the story started getting under my skin in the latter part. The writing is mostly good, but the author frequently does one thing that...
Horns by Joe Hill is a stand alone novel about a young man, Ignatius Perrish, waking up after a night of drinking too much and discovering he has grown horns.I have to say that Joe Hill's writing definitely gives his father, Stephen King, a run for his money. Superb writing and great character devel...
It's been a year since Merrin Williams, the love Ignatius Perrish's life was raped and murdered. Not only ishe dealing with the loss of Merrin, everyone in the small New England town believes that he is guilty despite the fact that he wasn't charged let alone convicted.

TW: Rape & AbuseFuck, I loved this. It's part mystery, part horror, part psychological thriller, with romance and paranormal aspects. It's not the typical horror story but it works. It SO works. It's so human. I have dozens of highlights, some paragraphs long, where I just loved the writing or the c...
Read back in 2014! Ignatius Perrish wakes up one morning with a nasty hangover and a pair of horns growing from his temples...Horns was a book that sounded really cool, a man wakes up with horns and the power to make those around him their deep dark secrets. And, in a way the book was good, but it...
After reading and mostly enjoying NOS4A2, I decided to give Horns a shot when I saw the audio version was available at my local library. I'm very happy I did. The story was interesting and didn't go the way I had expected in quite a few places. Hell, I even got a little misty in one place. My only...
As someone who adored Heart Shaped Box, it pains me to say that I found this book to be slow moving and the overall story to just be okay.Told in the third person, we follow the character of Ignatius Perrish (and seriously his parents should be slapped for that first name) who is still reeling from ...
Horns / Joe Hill (Powell's Books) No one would be surprised to learn that Ignatius Parrish was a devil, after all they all know he was the one to murder and rape his girlfriend. At least, no one would be surprised except the actual murderer. So when Ig wakes up one morning with horns growing out ...
Started out really well in the first couple of chapters, but devolved into something conventional, as if he didn't feel or trust where it was going. I could have used a much less likeable protagonist to give the story some grit. As is, it was fine, though a bit silly and unbalanced.
This is probably one of the strangest books I've ever read. It ran the gamut from humorous to horrifying, but not in the ways I expected it to. While I would classify it as horror, it isn't really the type to have you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails while wide eyed. The most frightening ...
