Billy Harrow est le spécialiste des céphalopodes au Musée d'histoire naturelle de Londres. Il organise les visites pour les collections privées, dont le Architeuthis dux (un calmar géant) est la pièce majeure. Lors d'une de ces visites, il constate avec horreur que le mollusque de huit mètres a disparu ! La vie de Billy bascule très vite : une branche secrète de la police vient l'interroger, il découvre l'existence d'une secte des adorateurs du Dieu Kraken et comprend qu'il existe un Londres souterrain et surnaturel…

Work Description

Kraken is a fantasy novel by British author China Miéville. It is published in the UK by Macmillan, and in the US by Del Rey Books. The book bears the subtitle "An Anatomy" on the title page. It was the winner for the 2011 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel.
Miéville has described the book as "a dark comedy about a squid-worshipping cult and the end of the world. It takes the idea of the squid cult very seriously. Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they’re not absurd."
