King Sorrow by Joe Hill
This is Joe Hill’s first full-length novel in ten years, and it packs quite a punch. Arthur Oakes is a college student with access to the rare books in the library, but ends up being blackmailed by a family of drug dealers to steal valuable books to pay off a debt. When Arthur steals a book with instructions on summoning a dragon, he and his friends summon King Sorrow in the hopes that the dragon will take care of the blackmailers. But they soon realize that making a deal with a dragon is not a one-and-done thing, and now they have to deal with King Sorrow for the rest of their lives. The story is epic, the length is epic, and it straddles the line between fantasy and horror in a way that only Joe Hill knows how to do.
