Horns by Joe Hill

Horns by Joe Hill

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with 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, who had been raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances. 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. But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. Nothing Ig can do or say matters. Everyone it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone that is, but the devil inside. . . .

Now Ig is possessed of a terrible new power--a macabre talent he intends to use to find the monster who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. It's time for a little revenge . . . it's time the devil had his due . . .

Conocido como Joe Hill (Hermon, Maine, 4 de junio de 1972), es un escritor estadounidense y creador de comics, afamado por renovar los generos de terror, fantasia oscura y ciencia ficcion. Hill es el segundo hijo de los autores Stephen y Tabitha King. Su hermano menor, Owen King, tambien es escritor.Hill escogio usar una forma abreviada de su nombre de pila (una referencia al lider obrero ejecutado Joe Hill) en 1997, a partir del deseo de tener exito basado solamente en sus propios meritos, en lugar de como el hijo de Stephen King. Despues de lograr un grado de exito independiente, Hill publicamente revelo su identidad en 2007 despues que un articulo el ano anterior en la revista estadounidense Variety revelase su identidad.
