A genre-bending noir, and perhaps the squiddiest novel ever written,
False Bodies
creates a horror/thriller blend of the renowned Newfoundland culture seen in shows like
Come From Away
with the heart-pounding tension and creeping fear of
Alien
.
follows monster hunter Eddie “The Yeti” Gesner to Newfoundland, to investigate a mass death on an offshore oil rig—which some say is the work of a kraken. A mysterious incident in Eddie's life has made him obsessed with chasing unfathomable things, but when an antique diary plunges him into a watery world of squid cults, tentacled beasts and corporate greed, Eddie finds even his own fractured reality pushed to the brink, as he's forced to confront an undersea power beyond human imagining.
