3-15-10 Horns by Joe Hill - Fiction

4 - My favorite book by Joe Hill is still Heart Shaped Box but this book has cemented him as a name to know in the horror genre. What would you do if you woke up one morning with horns growing out of your head? Well that's what Ig has to decide and deal with one fateful morn. Hill gives enough of the backstory at the beginning of the book so the reader can get a feel for Ig and the other characters and then continues to feed out pieces of the backstory, giving the reader a complete picture and understanding of all the characters' motivations by the end. Hill really does spin a good tale full of human angst, supernatural temptation, and just plain old bump in the night creepiness.
