WILL HEINRICH was born in New York and spent his early childhood in Japan. He writes about visual art for the New York Times and other titles. His debut novel The King’s Evil won a PEN/Robert Bingham Fellowship in 2004. He has a BA in Japanese from Columbia and an MFA from Bard College.

“Will Heinrich has written a dark fable about the boundaries of humanity. Set in a world not quite our own. The King’s Evil is an uncompromising story of two characters locked in a life-and-death struggle over the everyday minutiae of existence. Heinrich deftly examines the roots of power, evil, and love―the things that make us human, the things that separate us from inhumanity.”―Adrian McKinty“A thriller, a fairy tale, a love story, a treatise on art and disease―this small book, somehow, becomes all of these. This is a book you will pick up and read through the night like you did as a child.”―Andrew Sean Greer“The King’s Evil is a remarkable fable of maleficence, a kind of Brothers Grimm version of The Exorcist in which a guy gets in touch with his inner child at considerable risk.”—LA Times“Shiver, reader. Shake.”―Kirkus Reviews
