Kraken is by China Mieville. An astonishing and creepy work of fantasy. Billy Harrow works at London's Natural History Museum which houses a perfectly preserved specimen of giant squid. One day as he proceeds to lead a tour to view the squid, Harrow discovers it has been stolen, but no one is able to discover how the theft was committed. In a London filled with magic, myth, and cultists, Harrow finds himself swept up into a battle that could bring about the end of the world. This book is strange and creepy, and you wonder until the end exactly what is going on.
