Boswell welcomes Chuck Wendig, the New York Times bestselling author of books including Wanderers, The Book of Accidents, and Black River Orchard, for an event featuring his new novel, The Calamities. In this contemporary dark fantasy, the heir to one of the world’s most influential families faces a reckoning with the demonic secret to his family's power. Think Succession, but with demons! Occult magic melds with shocking family drama. Feckless Mourning Mayne knows he’ll one day be left his family’s vast empire of wealth and power. The Maynes are no ordinary family; they're one of the oldest and most influential families of half-human, half-demons, possessed of dark magic born from buying human souls. When his estranged, terrifying father demands that Mourning return to the fold, Mourning has to make a decision: will he accept his legacy and embrace his family or forge his own destiny, and with it, change the course of the world. Wendig's latest mixes emotionally compelling family drama with supernatural elements and themes of wealth and power that are all too timely for a dark age. Longtime fans of horror legend Wendig will love his new novel, and its hints of dark fantasy element will appeal to fans of authors like Leigh Bardugo and Lev Grossman.
