In the shadowed aftermath of a night steeped in sorrow and sin, Ignatius "Ig" Perrish awakens to a reality more bizarre and terrifying than his darkest nightmares—sprouting from his own skull are horns, sinister harbingers of a transformation as inexplicable as it is horrifying. Far removed from his charmed life of privilege, Ig is thrust into an abyss of despair following the brutal murder of Merrin Williams, his soulmate, whose death casts him as the perennial suspect in a town eager for judgment. These newfound appendages, however, grant Ig a disturbing gift: the power to unearth the deepest, darkest truths from those he encounters, leading him on a twisted path towards redemption or damnation. As Ig grapples with his diabolic change, he embarks on a quest not just for answers but for vengeance. The horns act as a catalyst, unraveling a tapestry of secrets that might have better remained hidden, exposing the fragility of relationships, the venom of betrayal, and the cost of justice in a community blinded by bias. Joe Hill masterfully weaves a tale that is as much a commentary on the human condition as it is a chilling exploration of the supernatural. "Horns" challenges the reader to question what it means to be innocent when the world has already deemed you guilty, making it a compelling narrative of love, loss, and the demons that dwell within us all.
