Synopsis

Joe Hill's critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning debut chiller, Heart-Shaped Box, heralded the arrival of new royalty onto the dark fantasy scene. With Horns, he polishes his well-deserved crown. A twisted, terrifying new novel of psychological and supernatural suspense, Horns is a devilishly original triumph for the Ray Bradbury Fellowship recipient whose story collection, 20th Century Ghosts, was also honored with a Bram Stoker Award—and whose emotionally powerful and macabre work has been praised by the New York Times as, "wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty…a Valentine from hell."

About Joe Hill

Born in 1972 to authors Tabitha (nee Spruce) and Stephen King, Joseph Hillstrom King grew up in the state of Maine along with his younger brother, (also a writer) Owen King.

At age 9, Joe appeared in the 1982 film Creepshow, which was written by his famous father. In 1997 he chose to use an abbreviated form of his given name (a reference to executed labor leader Joe Hill, for whom he was named), out of a desire to succeed based solely on his own merits rather than as the son of Stephen King, one of the world's best-selling and most-recognized living novelists. Hill's debut, Heart-Shaped Box, won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. His second, Horns, was made into a film Freakfest starring Daniel Radcliffe. His other novels include NOS4A2, and his #1 New York Times Best-Seller, The Fireman.

Hill currently lives in New Hampshire with a corgi named McMurtry after a certain beloved writer of cowboy tales.

Goodreads review by Kemper on March 22, 2010

Stephen King really messed up his son, Joe. It’s not surprising. The children of famous people generally end up as tabloid fodder, and with King as a dad, I’m shocked that one of his brood hasn’t gone on an extended murder spree. King spends all day thinking of the most horrific shit possible to try......more

Goodreads review by Baba on April 14, 2025

This supernatural mystery thriller, is packed with great ideas and compelling non-linear storytelling, but being of the supernatural ilk, those always a fear of Deus Ex Machina! And alas, despite this book really getting under my skin and chilling me at times, I found the later stages of the book so......more

Goodreads review by Anne on July 31, 2024

Hands down my favorite book from Joe Hill! Well, so far. Some of his books can be a little too long and winding (for me) but this one I actually enjoyed from start to finish. Everything fit and there wasn't a lot of extra nonsense to it. Plus, I liked all of the characters. I was rooting for Iggy. H......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on July 04, 2016

Joe Hill writes from a dark and mysterious place. When I read this book, I was enthralled and uncomfortable at the same time. With every Hill novel I have read, the evil is unconventional and twisted. In this novel, the protagonist connects with the dark forces through mysterious horns growing out o......more
