China Miéville KRAKEN Subterranean Press, 2010. Deluxe, limited edition: #367/500 numbered copies signed by China Miéville. A brand-new, unread copy. bump to front bottom right and rear lower left corners--rear is a bit worse than front--otherwise fine in fine jacket. From the Publisher: In such novels as Perdido Street Station and the groundbreaking SF thriller The City & The City, China Miéville has astonished and delighted an ever-growing body of readers. In Kraken, he gives us his most absorbing creation to date, an eschatological epic that reaffirms his position as the foremost urban fantasist of the modern era. The story begins with the impossible disappearance of Architeuthis Dux — a gigantic squid – from London’s Natural History Museum. To some, that squid is simply a bizarre natural phenomenon. To others, it is an enigmatic divinity and a harbinger of the End of Days. The drama that arises from its disappearance illuminates the varied array of magical forces that live—have always lived—beneath the quotidian surface of London. The result is a visionary narrative of men and their gods, of magic, murder, and apocalypse. Densely imagined, enormously funny, and filled with unforgettable images, Kraken is a work of baroque grandeur and great originality that only China Miéville could have written. * * *From Library Journal (Starred read more
