Horns by Joe Hill Part 1

Welcome to the very first two-part episode of Grown-Up Book Report. In this episode Lisa, a snarky Horror loving librarian made Carly, a snarky literary-loving librarian read Horns by Joe Hill. If you haven't read Horns, don't worry. Carly will summarize the whole plot so you get the context you need to understand the librarian's clever and flippant observations. And since Horns has a whole lot of plot, it's been split into two parts. Part 2 will upload in two weeks.

For those who know nothing about Horns, a small warning. It's horror and therefore includes violence. But it also includes sexual assault, elder abuse, self-harm.

It was released in 2010 and became a film starring Daniel Radcliffe in 2013. Here is the publisher's description of Horns: 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."
