Kirsten Bakis' new book, King Nyx, is one part historical fiction, one part spooky mystery, and one part Gothic horror — all combining to create a total page-turner.
On Sunday, March 30, 2025, Kirsten joined Art Chung, head of audio production at Vox Media, for a conversation and Q&A to discuss the book. Afterward, channeling her role as a writing teacher, she facilitated a writing exercise for audience members.
