Book description
Joe Hill's King Sorrow arrives as a masterclass in modern horror, perfectly realized in audiobook form. Forget sterile prose-this is raw, urgent storytelling where you hear the fear in the characters' voices. The narrator captures Arthur Oakes' vulnerability as he navigates life as an outsider, his mother jailed and his father absent, finding solace in English myths. That fragile hope shatters when Arthur defends a classmate, triggering a chain of events that lands his six close-knit, equally scarred friends in a terrifying pact: they'll summon the dragon-demon King Sorrow to kill their tormentors in exchange for worship. What starts as revenge spirals into a chilling yearly ritual, demanding they choose new victims to appease the demon.
The brilliance lies in how Hill makes both supernatural and human threats feel equally devastating. You'll hear the nervous laughter of teens huddled in a library basement, the sudden silence when the ritual begins, the guttural growl of King Sorrow itself. The audiobook amplifies the tension-every whispered secret, every panicked breath, every shift in the wind as the demon's presence nears. It's not just scary; it's deeply human. These characters aren't heroes; they're damaged kids trying to survive a world that's already broken them. Their intelligence and loyalty make their descent into darkness all the more heartbreaking.
Hill's setting shifts seamlessly from the gritty, fluorescent-lit halls of 1980s Midwest America to the misty, ancient landscapes of modern England, grounding the supernatural in tangible, relatable places. You feel the weight of their isolation-their shared history of being bullied, ignored, pushed to the edge. The demon isn't just a monster; it's a reflection of the cruelty they've endured, now weaponized against them.
For fans of Stephen King's character-driven horror, Jordan Peele's social dread, or Leigh Bardugo's complex young ensembles, King Sorrow delivers something fresh. It's a horror novel that lingers because it's not afraid to ask: how far would you go to end the pain, and what cost does that choice truly demand? The audiobook makes you lean in, not just to hear the story, but to feel every heartbeat of these characters fighting to stay human in a world that won't let them. It's not just unmissable-it's unforgettable.
