The National Writers series is thrilled to present Joe Hill in conversation about his newest sinister tale, King Sorrow, a story about the collision between modern-world dangers, an ancient evil, and the unpredictable consequences that send the lives of six friends into a tailspin.

Hill’s chilling novel follows Arthur Oakes on Rackham College’s campus in frosty Maine. Forced to choose between stealing rare books and summoning a demon with a group of friends, Arthur chooses the latter. But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and the six suddenly find themselves in the middle of a terrifying bargain that continues to haunt them for years to come.

“A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11
