Description
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."

Handling the undead - Ajvide Lindqvist, John
These darkly humorous horror novels portray characters faced with unexpected transformations. Horns features a man overcome by shame who turns into a literal monster, while Handling the Undead poses a problem for society: what to do when the dead revive? -- Katherine Johnson

Both Hill and Piccirilli write chilling stories of supernatural suspense featuring flawed but sympathetic protagonists, in frightening situations, with modern details. -- Becky Spratford
These authors write imaginative and chilling horror fiction that crosses traditional genre boundaries and generates tense, atmospheric scares through precise and unflinching probing of unspoken human anxieties within the modern world and candid depictions of psychological cruelty. -- Derek Keyser
Although Ania Ahlborn frequently sets her novels in small towns and Joe Hill employs a broader range of settings, both focus their creepy, often gruesome horror novels on complex characters coping with ordinary situations that suddenly go wrong and keep getting worse. -- Mike Nilsson
Both authors profess to be influenced by horror grandmaster Stephen King. Victor LaValle finds inspiration in his working-class settings and evocations of children in peril; Joe Hill, in his colloquial language and simply by the fact that Stephen King is, inescapably, his dad. Both authors also pen graphic novels. -- Autumn Winters
Hill and Abrahams excel at leading their protagonists into bad situations. Readers squirm as they watch it all spin out of control. -- Becky Spratford
Like father, like son. Both King and Hill blend genres, writing mostly horror that often incorporates suspense and dark fantasy tropes. Both tend to feature story lines with flawed but likable protagonists who confront their dark sides as they battle an evil supernatural being. -- Becky Spratford
