Description
A giant squid, perfectly preserved and displayed in the research wing of the Natural History Museum, is a rare sight indeed. But when it suddenly vanishes, curator Billy Harrow's life takes a dramatic turn. A darkly comic and wildly absurd adventure unfolds as he navigates a surreal world of warring cults, magic, and assassins. The creature's disappearance sets off a chain reaction that threatens to upend the fragile balance of power in London. As tensions rise, it becomes clear that the squid may be more than just a biological rarity - some believe it's a god, one that could bring about catastrophic consequences if its existence is revealed. In this gripping and unsettling tale, China Miéville weaves together elements of science fiction, fantasy, and urban horror to create a world that's both fascinating and terrifying.
