About this Event
Please join us in the beautiful fourth floor reading room at the Waterville Public Library at 12:00 pm on Saturday, December 12, 2026 to hear Author Ron Currie discuss his sixth book published in July 2026: We Will See You Bleed.
“We Will See You Bleed is a thriller in the best sense. You can’t put the damn thing down, and the story of these down-and-outs fighting the powers that be will stay with you a long time. Solid-gold guarantee.” —Stephen King
“Rather than a sequel to his celebrated Canuck-noir novel, The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne, Ron Currie goes back in time to paint Waterville, Maine, in the summer of 1984 . . . It's a brilliant Maine thriller, unfolding 40 miles and an entire world away from the state's much chronicled rocky coast.” —NPR
