# King Sorrow

Arthur Oakes is a bookish student at Rackham College in Maine, a place of hard winters and handsome buildings. When local drug dealers force him to steal rare volumes from the college library, he turns to his closest friends: the wealthy Colin Wren, the fearless Allison Shiner, the McBride twins and Gwen Underfoot, the clever girl he is falling for. Their plan is to summon the fabled dragon King Sorrow and set him on Arthur's tormentors. The dragon answers, and the price is steep.

Joe Hill follows that bargain across four decades of friendship, guilt and gathering dread. Each year the six must choose a new sacrifice for the dragon, and the promise shapes their lives in ways they never expect. It is a vast, absorbing novel for readers who like dark fantasy and horror grounded in characters worth caring about.
