The Fisherman
By John Langan. Steeped in the history and geography of upstate New York, this literary novel of cosmic horror draws on influences from the Book of Job to Moby-Dick and H.P. Lovecraft. A widower who turns to fishing as solace is drawn into a centuries-old pattern of bereaved men tearing the veil between worlds to reunite with some simulacrum of what they have lost. More than a monster story, though full of satisfying scares, this tale-within-a-tale leaves us chilled by fears of the uncanny existence that may await us after death.
