The Fisherman

'Illusory, frightening, and deeply moving, The Fisherman is a modern horror epic. And it's simply a must read' - Paul Tremblay

'An epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard and Norman Maclean. What you get is A River Runs Through It... straight to hell' - Laird Barron

'Reading this, your mouth fills with worms. Just let them wriggle and crawl as they will, though-don't swallow. John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul. I fear he's already got mine' - Stephen Graham Jones

'What starts as a slow, melancholy tale gains momentum and drops you head first into a churning nightmare from which you might escape, but you'll never forget, and the memory of what you saw will change you forever' - Richard Kadrey

'The Fisherman is a treasure, the kind of book you just want to snuggle up and shiver through. I can't say enough good things about the confidence, the patience, the satisfying cumulative power of this book. It was a pleasure to read from the first page to the last' - Victor LaValle

'Stories within stories, folk tales becoming modern legends, all spinning into a fisherman's tale about the one he wishes had gotten away. Langan's latest is at turns epic and personal, dense yet compulsively readable, frightening but endearing' - Adam Cesare
