#1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill presents a chilling tale of modern-world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge.

Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at the idyllic Rackham College, Maine, but his peace is shattered when a local drug dealer corners him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the library. Trapped and desperate, Arthur dreams up a wild, fantastical scheme to use the library’s secret possession, the unnerving Crane journal, to summon a dragon to do his bidding. But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons!

INDIVIDUAL TICKET $45 (Admits ONE and includes one copy of “King Sorrow")

OR

PACKAGE TICKET $55 (Admits TWO and includes one copy of “King Sorow")

  • A book signing line will follow the presentation.

Seating will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
