Join us to celebrate the launch of R F Kuang's new novel, Katabasis, with an evening of Hellish quizzes and games, including an Escape Room style trip to Hell, all with some awesome prizes.

Preorder your copy of Katabasis in store with us today, grab your ticket for the event online, and we will see you there - it's time to work together and see if you can beat Hell itself!

*Please note that R F Kuang will not be in attendance at this event!*

Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek. The story of a hero's descent to the underworld.

Grad student Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick. But the only person who can make her dream come true is dead and – inconveniently – in Hell. And Alice, along with her biggest rival Peter Murdoch, is going after him.

But Hell is not as the philosophers claim, its rules are upside-down, and if she’s going to get out of there alive, she and Peter will have to work together.

That’s if they can agree on anything.

Will they triumph, or kill each other trying?
