"The whole is more than the sum of its parts in this exceptional
supernatural thriller from bestseller Golden (Dead Ringers). An
avalanche on Turkey's legendary Mount Ararat uncovers a cave that
may contain the remnants of Noah's Ark....While the contours of the
story line will be familiar to genre fans, Golden makes them feel
fresh through solid prose, effective characterizations, and a
willingness not to pull any plot punches." --Publishers Weekly
(starred review) "A thriller with an intellectual bent, Golden's
latest effort ruminates on the nature and existence of good and
evil while providing the chills and tingles fans of this prolific
author have come to expect." --Kirkus Reviews "Chilling and
atmospheric...a spooky, entertaining read." --Washington
Independent Review of Books "If Ararat is a standalone novel, it is
a missed opportunity to further capture an audience that is now at
attention." --New York Journal of Books "ARARAT has that
horror-adventure vibe that's like candy to me. Delicious Terror
Candy! Golden seizes your heart in his hands with a tale as
terrifying as it is thrilling!" --Chuck Wendig "Golden gives a face
and a name to the darkness inside us. A compelling read!"
--M.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All The Gifts and Fellside
"Let the other blurbers tell you how thrilling, how frightening,
how robust this book is. They're right to do it. But the thing that
struck me deepest about Ararat is how timely this tale is for the
world right now. The men and women in the book are treated as
equals; in strength, in smarts, in power. Muslims are set to marry
Jews. Scientists and Christians are working on the same edgy
project. And yet, they all fear the same way. And they hope the
same way, too. If ever we could use a story that reminds us that
we're together, a singular race, in religion and gender, that time
is now. Bravo, Christopher Golden, for sewing such enormous themes
into a nail-biting, exhilarating book." --Josh Malerman, author of
Bird Box "Ararat is Christopher Golden's masterpiece. A chilling
thriller in the spirit of Dan Simmons's The Terror, H.P.
Lovecraft's 'At The Mountains of Madness', and John Carpenter's The
Thing. I loved it!" --Brian Keene, best-selling author of Pressure
and The Complex
"Christopher Golden's Ararat blends modern politics and age-old
superstitions into a claustrophobic snowstorm that will leave you
terrified. Part psychological horror, part supernatural thriller,
Ararat is a masterclass in supernatural suspense. Don't read it
before bed!" --Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author
of Behind Her Eyes "Christopher Golden's Ararat is a rollicking and
horrifying adventure that avalanches from the top of the famed
Turkish mountain. A clever, original, and macabre re-imagining of
one the world's oldest stories, Ararat is as relentless as it is
addictive."--Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and
Disappearance at Devil's Rock "Christopher Golden has written an
extremely gripping story, with echoes of John Carpenter's The
Thing. It's not simply the icy setting of Ararat; Golden has also
mastered a similar (and similarly thrilling) sense of
claustrophobic dread. It's a creepy, chilling book." --Scott Smith,
New York Times bestselling author of The Ruins and A Simple
Plan
"I cannot say enough good things about this book. This is the
Lovecraftian horror, mountaineering, 1970s-style paranoia,
theologically philosophical, paranormal, Satanic love story I've
been waiting for. A scary and smart must-read." --Chelsea Cain, New
York Times bestselling thriller writer "Christopher Golden's new
novel, Ararat, takes a high concept idea and delivers hours of
chills. Rarely does a horror novel maintain the unrelenting
momentum achieved in its early pages, but Ararat offers shock after
shock, achieving an escalating suspense that becomes truly horrific
by the bloody, action-packed climax. The novel will draw
comparisons to Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's early work, as
well as the intrigue of a Dan Brown thriller, but Golden is a
better writer than those gentlemen! Whatever you do, don't start
this one late at night as you will be compelled to read until the
last page. This is a great one!" --William Carl, Assistant
Manager/Newsletter editor, Wellesley Books
