Horns

One thing I'm realizing about writing reviews for every book that I read is that you all are going to see how narrow my reading list has become. 99% of the books I read are either about monsters or criminals. If werewolf noir was a genre, it would be all I'd ever read.

Anyway, I've never read anything by Joe Hill but have heard nothing but amazing things about Lock and Key. Maybe now that that's finishing up, I'll read it when I'm done with Scalped. I figured I'd start with a non-graphic novel. Horns is really good. The basic premise is that a guy wakes up hungover with a pair of devil horns growing out of his head, and everyone he encounters acts pretty fucked up. It's funny but also dark and uncomfortable. I liked it a lot. Check it out.
