When Sadie Roth takes a part time job teaching creative writing at King’ s Hill, the local prison, she finds herself in close contact with Edward Joseph Mills, a local boogeyman and convicted serial killer. As Mills uses the course as a vehicle to finally tell his story, Sadie finds herself drawn into a strange world of money, violence, sex, and magic.

Interweaving Mills’ hard-boiled narrative of occult murder with Sadie’ s all-too-human story of marriage, friendship, and disability, King’ s Hill asks what we owe to the truth, and what we’ d be willing to sacrifice in the face of both human and supernatural horror.
