“In the beginning, men were prey.”
Dark fantasy meets noir and horror in the genre-blending world of No Gods for Drowning. Killers, detectives, sea monsters, and blood gods haunt the former archipelago of Aeg, which author Laird Barron calls “a superior offering,” and Vulture describes as “a mind-bending blend of noir, mythology, urban fantasy, apocalypse story, and murder mystery … Fans of the unclassifiable and the weird should not skip this one.”
Books
