Steven Hall
One of Granta's Best Young British Novelists
Eric Sanderson wakes up in a place he doesn't recognise, unable to remember who he is. All he has left are journal entries recalling Clio, a perfect love now gone.
So begins a thrilling adventure that will send Eric and his cynical cat Ian on a search for the Ludovician, the force that is threatening his life, and Dr Trey Fidorus, the only man who knows its secrets.

Critic Reviews
"Inventive, funny and extremely smart . . . I nearly fell off my chair with admiration" (AUDREY NIFFENEGGER)
"A fast, sharp-toothed work of genius. An instant classic" (MATT HAIG)
"A psychological thriller with shades of Memento and The Matrix and the fiction of Mark Danielewski; page-turning, playful and chilling by turns"
"Very entertaining. The bastard love-child of The Matrix, Jaws and The Da Vinci Code" (MARK HADDON)
"Clever, exciting, funny and moving"
"A horror-dystopic-philosophical mash-up that has critics drawing comparisons to Borges"
"Jaws meets Alice in Wonderland . . . An avant-garde thriller in which these devil-fish of the unconscious somehow escape the symbolic realm"
"No novel with a cat called Ian in it can fail to win a place in my heart"
"A thriller with elements of sci-fi, romance and memoir . . . A cracking read . . . but it's the outrageous inventiveness that marks it out as really special"
"A cult in the making"
"Leaves you breathless"
"Filled with surreal twists"
"Genuinely isn't like anything you've ever read before"
"An absurdly confident and intriguing debut. Move over Damien Hirst"
"Triumphant . . . Heartfelt, lyrical. A graphic novel in prose" (Joyce Carol Oates)
"A meditation on love and loss, a thriller that will haunt you. Pass it on to a friend. Commence debate"
"Utterly thrilling . . . leaves your heart pounding"
"Dizzyingly good . . . Clever, fun, gripping and shot through with melancholy"
"Fast, sexy, intriguing, intelligent – The Raw Shark Texts is all these and more: a cult waiting to happen, a blockbuster begging to be made. Steven Hall is a truly fantastic storyteller. Investigate, now!" (TOBY LITT)
"A book in which heart and head sing in tremulous balance"
"Donnie Darko meets Memento and Jaws. A postmodern spin on horror with a hip, Alex Garland vibe"
"A dream (and nightmare) of a first novel . . . Immensely readable"
