Kraken
#2061 of 8,085 books · #173 in Horror
Won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (2011).
Kraken won the 2011 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Miéville has described the book as "a dark comedy about a squid-worshipping cult and the end of the world. It takes the idea of the squid cult very seriously. Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd."
