When a once-promising young writer agrees to ghostwrite a famous physicist’s memoir, his livelihood is already in jeopardy: Plagued by debt, he’s grown distant from his wife, and is haunted by an overwhelming sense of dread he describes as “The Mist.” Then, things get worse: The physicist vanishes, leaving everything in limbo, including our narrator’s sanity.

Author and poet William Brewer joins us for an in-person reading and discussion of his new novel, "The Red Arrow," available now from Knopf/Penguin Random House. Recorded live at Taylor Books in Charleston, West Virginia, in August 2022. For more on William Brewer and "The Red Arrow," visit williambrewer.net or the publisher's page here. Join us again soon for the four-part conclusion to Mysterious Mountains' Uncle Abner-themed first season!
