Joe Hill’s King Sorrow Heading to Television

The horror novel King Sorrow, written by Joe Hill, has recently had its television adaptation rights optioned shortly after its release. The story follows a college student named Arthur Oakes who, after being forced into a criminal book-stealing plot, attempts to summon a dragon using a dark ritual. This supernatural bargain leads to a terrifying annual sacrifice to appease a malevolent entity. Because the book is nearly nine hundred pages long, a serialized television format is considered more appropriate than a film. This project joins a growing list of Hill’s work transitioned for the screen, further establishing his independent legacy in the horror genre.
