About this title

Review:

"Hill's one incredibly talented writer with a wicked sense of humor and a master's control of pacing."--Bookgasm.com

"[D]evilishly good...Hill is a terrificwriter with a greatimagination. He has a special talent for taking us and his characters to very weird places."--Wilmington News Journal

""Horns" is a pitchfork-packing, prodigal son's take on religion...But the real meat of the story dissects man's relationship with good and evil wihtout sacrificing a bit of suspense..."Horns" is a mesmerizing page-turner."--Tulsa World

"[A] compulsively readable supernatural thriller...Hill spins a story that's both morbidly amusing and emotionally resonant. The explanations for Ig's weird travails won't satisfy every reader, but few will dispute that Hill has negotiated the sophomore slump."--Publishers Weekly

"Brilliant in conception...HORNS is a rollercoaster of a work filled with thrills and chills."--Bookreporter.com

"HORNS should bring even more fans to Joe Hill . . . he has his own style, and it is very accessible as well as fast-moving. . . . HORNS is a fast-paced, fascinating murder mystery/love story with a dash of the devil himself to spice things up."--DreadCentral.com [horror entertainment review website]

"A satisfying and entertaining book."--www.npr.org on HORNS

"This is masterful allegory as Hill proves himself...to be a compelling chronicler of human natures continual war between good and evil."--Providence Journal-Bulletin

"As the plot builds through flashbacks and clever exposition, Ig's true nature reveals itself, and the reader is left questioning the traditional border between good and evil....Highly recommended, particularly for fans of Clive Barker and Christopher Moore."--Library Journal

""Horns" is a well wrought tale with intellectual merit. Not only are we entertained, we are challenged to think as well."--New York Journal of Books
