Cover Unveiled for Joe Hill's Horns (US)

This cover is very bland when compared to the UK and PS Publishing's Limited edition covers for Horns.  It is another case of the publisher not wanting to go out a limb with something that will standout.  Instead we get a cove that is pretty generic and doesn't evoke the creepiness Hill is capable of.  Hill's US publisher hasn't released their synopsis yet so here is the UK version to tide you over:

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American musician, and the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more - he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone - raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances - with Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, Ig was and always would be guilty. Now Ig is possessed with a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look, and he means to use it to find the man who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge; it's time the devil had his due.
