Horns

More about the book

Ignatius Perrish wakes up after a night of heavy drinking to find horns growing from his temples. Initially believing they are a hallucination born from his grief and rage over the murder of his beloved Merrin Williams, he soon realizes the horns are real. Ig has spent the past year in anguish, grappling with the loss of Merrin, who was brutally raped and killed under mysterious circumstances. Once a privileged young man with a promising future, Ig's life has been shattered. Despite being the only suspect in Merrin's murder, he was never charged or tried, leaving him forever marked as guilty in the eyes of his community. His wealthy family managed to obscure the investigation, but public opinion has condemned him. Feeling abandoned by everyone, including God, Ig discovers he possesses a dark new power that comes with his monstrous appearance. Determined to uncover the truth behind Merrin's death and seek vengeance, he resolves that being good and hoping for justice has failed him. Now, he embraces the devil within, ready to reclaim his life and ensure the true monster pays for their crimes.
