★ “A moving character study disguised as a riveting, cinematic survival thriller….The pacing is relentless, the awe astounding, and the tension palpably constricting, even as Kraus takes time to provide necessary details both scientific and visceral.”—Booklist (starred review)

★ “Full of cinematic and wild suspense.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Brave, bold, epic, propulsive. Whalefall is a deeply moving thriller that holds a planet’s worth of hope in the pit of its stomach.”—Joshua Ferris, National Book Award finalist

“Astoundingly great. Whalefall is, quite simply, a beautiful novel—a must-read story of the sea, the nature of awe, and the briny relationships between fathers and sons.”—Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Whalefall is a mind-blowing, take-your-breath-away adventure, but it’s also a tender and moving story of the relationship between a father and son. Daniel Kraus is a writer I greatly admire. He can do anything, and does.”—Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk

“One of our oldest stories, one of our greatest fears, and one of our most capable writers. Stranger things than being swallowed by a whale have probably happened, but they've rarely been told so well.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author

“Unexpectedly emotional and wildly entertaining, Whalefall is the tense revamp of Jonah’s tale you didn’t know you needed.”—Gabino Iglesias, award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home

“The primordial nightmare at the core of Whalefall is fantastically gripping. A character study developed in the most intense crucible imaginable, Kraus’s latest novel is smart, surreal, and powerfully humane.”—Owen King, New York Times bestselling author
