Angel Down

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • "A NEW CLASSIC." NEW YORK TIMES Exploring the depths of greed and paranoia, this groundbreaking horror novel delivers a cinematic experience set against the grim trenches of World War I. It's an ideal pick for admirers of Stephen Graham Jones and Alma Katsu. Authored by the New York Times bestselling writer of Whalefall and co-author, along with Guillermo del Toro, of The Shape of Water, the story follows Private Cyril Bagger. He's managed to navigate the horrors of the Great War using cunning and deceit, taking advantage of his fellow soldiers at every turn. His survival skills face their ultimate challenge when he and four others are tasked with a perilous mission: to traverse No Man’s Land and end a wounded comrade's suffering. However, instead of the expected soldier, they encounter a fallen angel, seemingly downed by artillery fire. This divine being might be the key to ending the intense conflict, but only if they can overcome their own desires and act as a team. As envy, greed, and paranoia grip them, the group faces internal turmoil that threatens to transform their divine meeting into a nightmare. Angel Down immerses readers into the heart of World War I, crafting a complex narrative of survival, supernatural marvels, and moral dilemmas.
