Holy hell. NYT raves don’t get any better:

“A thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction. Mysterious and full of grace, rambling and ducking and shifting for 285 dizzying, blood-soaked, astonishing pages.”
ANGEL DOWN makes the 2025 New York Times Notables list! That’s something.

The Autumnal was one of the best horror comics I've read. The dialogue was smooth and the artwork fit the story well. I'm a fan of the Fall so it was also the perfect read for spooky season.

One horror movie that changed you? Maybe even saved you. For us, it’s FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980). For Daniel Kraus, it’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968). His new book PARTIALLY DEVOURED promises a CINEMA SPECULATION–style deep dive and memoir. Preordered.

Well, this is interesting. Daniel Kraus, author of WHALEFALL and who co-wrote THE LIVING DEAD with George A. Romero, has written a book about his relationship with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. I’ll have to pick this up when it gets released in early 2026.

Daniel wins this trend. Also ANGEL DOWN is a truly extraordinary book. Gripping, haunting, mind-spinning. The man knows his way around a sentence.

This book is absolutely AMAZING. Just jaw-dropping. One of the best books I've read this year. My best advice: read it aloud if you can or if there's an audio book, get that. Its an experience when heard out loud. whew.

I've been recommended Whalefall by Daniel Kraus quite a few times by people and my partner recently brought it home from a LFL, so I'm finally having myself sit down and read it. Exciting!
