Confessions of a Book Collector
Joe Hill: When The Most Dangerous Thing In The Room Is A Book
13 Dec 2025
After nearly a decade away from writing novels, Joe Hill returned this year with King Sorrow, a bold, ferocious, genre-blurring epic that fuses horror, high fantasy, dark academia, rare books, and a Faustian bargain with devastating consequences.In this conversation, Joe joins David Headley to talk about writing a 900-page novel that never lets up, why big books have to move fast, and how six friends summoning a dragon becomes a story about power, complicity, and the stories we choose to live with.

Plus, Joe reveals a major exclusive… only on Confessions of a Book Collector.
