Ever head out on the town and see men with horns on their head? Usually, one would think those little things were the glued-on dealies, sold to those who like their devilish tendencies to be as blatant as possible. But in the minds of Stephen King’s offspring, it’s a little bit different. Variety](http:// http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118009805.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2562) reports that Joe Hill, son of the famous King, has had his upcoming novel Horns optioned by Mandalay Pictures.
The novel, which will hit shelves this February, is a love story zeroing in on a 26-year-old man whose wild night of booze ends in an unexpected way – he blacks out and wakes up in the morning to find horns on this head – not the paste variety, but honest-to-devil horns. “As the horns grow bigger by the day, the reason why seems to lie in the unsolved murder of his girlfriend.” Since he’s growing devil horns, I think it’s safe to presume that there’s some misdeed behind the horns.
