Description

From 1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, a chilling tale of modern- world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge as six friends dabble in the occult and are tragically, horrifyingly successful… calling forth an evil entity that demands regular human sacrifice.“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 11Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library.Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world.But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

    • Awesome as all of Joe Hill's books
This is one of the best books I've read all year. I read everything by Joe Hill as soon as it comes out, and as usual I was not disappointed. Joe Hill has the same ability as his father to write captivating an humane characters that are completely believable, and that you can't wait to see where the story takes them. The story and the plot are awesome too, the book was really hard to put down. Plus, I really enjoyed all the small Easter eggs from previous books and related stories. If you like contemporary horror, this is definitely one of the best. ... show more

    • Absolutely Fantastic!
Format: Audiobook
This book was absolutely fantastic. Be prepared, it is equal amounts, horror, and fantasy with dragons and magic but with an amazing amount of action and depth of characters. The audiobook is 24 hours long so be prepared to spend some time with it, but it is an amazing book that takes place over years and years. A group of college friends find themselves in a place where they have managed to summon a dragon in order to get them out of some trouble but dealing with a dragon is no short term commitment. What happens over the next 30 years of their lives is absolutely astounding. This is one that I will read again... ... show more

    • How Not to Train Your Dragon
Format: Kindle
In 1989, Arthur Oakes is studying at a pricey university, where he works in the rare books section of the university library; his pacifist mother is currently incarcerated for second-degree murder. When the daughter of another inmate learns of Arthur’s work, she blackmails him - he is to steal rare books for her to sell, or she will have her mother’s friends torture and/or murder *his* mother. Arthur is in despair, until a group of his college friends and a townie friend combine their efforts and summon a dragon to deal with the situation. Alas, they have bitten off far more than they can chew, and now the friends find that they have a hungry dragon to feed every year…. This is a very long book, but it doesn’t feel that way while reading it because Mr. Hill has his father’s knack of creating characters and situations that engage the reader and feel like real-world events, despite their fantastical premises. There’s also a bit of what I’m calling “meta-adjacent” writing, in that early on Mr. Hill has *his* characters reference characters in his father’s book, “The Dead Zone,” and later on there’s a sentence that begins “Full dark, no stars,” the title of a collection of Stephen King’s short stories. Very much a hoot! Back to the book at hand - definitely worth reading, but be prepared to devote a lot of time to it; recommended! ... show more

    • Best Fantasy/Horror of 2025!
Format: Hardcover
5⭐️ I think there may be a new King of horror! Joe Hill has written an expansive 877 page fantasy/horror story with a dragon! This is one of my favorite books of 2025! This book is about so much more than a fantasy/ dragon tale. The characters are well developed and beautifully flawed. Arthur, Gwen, Donna and Donovan the twins, Allie, and Colin are six friends joined forever by one night of calling to the Long Dark to summon King Sorrow. It’s a story about love, friendship, loss, grief, found family, addiction, good vs evil, and of course the dragon! So much to love about this story I did not want it to end! But what a perfect ending! I can’t wait for the series that I’m sure is coming soon! ... show more

    • One word-amazing!
Format: Hardcover
When I got this book, I was anxious to start it, yet I was intimidated by its size. A book this big better be good and keep my interest. And oh my, I loved it! It was one of those I could not put down (but I had to because my hands cramped). Here’s the thing, I expected there would be some lag somewhere with this many pages, some part that would be yadda yadda he could’ve cut this part out and saved some pages. But no! There was never a part I was bored of or that dragged on. That’s impressive. I was fully immersed in this story and attached to the characters and I am so sad it’s finished! Now I must move on to a reading slump as no book will compare. Thank you Joe Hill for the amazing read! ... show more
