New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden's writing is 'the real deal' (Stephen King) and this heart-pounding supernatural thriller will thrill and fascinate in equal measure.

'Golden puts it all together with tremendous skill and a gleeful relish' - Financial Times

Meryam and Adam take risks for a living. But neither is prepared for what lies in the legendary heights of Mount Ararat, Turkey.

First to reach a massive cave revealed by an avalanche, they discover the hole in the mountain's heart is really an ancient ship, buried in time. A relic that some fervently believe is Noah's Ark.

Deep in its recesses stands a coffin inscribed with mysterious symbols that no one in their team of scholars, archaeologists and filmmakers can identify. Inside is a twisted, horned cadaver. Outside a storm threatens to break.

As terror begins to infiltrate their every thought, is it the raging blizzard that chases them down the mountain - or something far worse?

Press Reviews

  • Publishers Weekly Starred Review
    Exceptional
  • Josh Malerman, author of BIRD BOX

    If ever we could use a story that reminds us that we're together, a singular race, in religion and gender, that time is now. Bravo, Christopher Golden for sewing such enormous themes into a nail-biting, exhilarating book
  • Kirkus
    A thriller with an intellectual bent, Golden's latest effort ruminates on the nature and existence of good and evil while providing the chills and tingles fans of this prolific author have come to expect
  • The Eloquent Page
    Christopher Golden always produces first rate, solidly entertaining fiction and Ararat is no exception... You just can't beat shoving a group of people into a highly stressful situation, turning the screws and watching them all squirm
  • For Winter Nights
    A very well-written, satisfying, frightening, chilly and gory horror extravaganza
  • This Is Horror
    Like Michael Crichton or Dan Brown, Christopher Golden is an expert at the high-concept rollercoaster thriller...a master class in pacing...a new jewel in horror-adventure fiction. This is a gateway novel - something you can give to friends who are swamped in legal thrillers or cop thrillers... give them Ararat and it should be easy to pull new readers to the dark side
  • Starburst
    Masterful high-energy horror writing from an author at the top of his game
  • Dual Reads
    Oh boy, this book. Intense and exciting and so, so immersive
  • Financial Times
    Golden puts it all together with tremendous skill and a gleeful relish
  • The Tattooed Book Geek
    Atmospheric and truly chilling
  • Chuck Wendig

    Golden seizes your heart in his hands
  • Sarah Pinborough, author of BEHIND HER EYES

    A claustrophobic snowstorm that will leave you terrified
  • Paul Tremblay, author of A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS

    A clever, original, and macabre re-imagining of one the world's oldest stories
  • Brian Keene

    Christopher Golden's masterpiece...I loved it!
  • Josh Malerman

    If ever we could use a story that reminds us that we're together, a singular race, in religion and gender, that time is now. Bravo, Christopher Golden for sewing such enormous themes into a nail-biting, exhilarating book
  • Chelsea Cain

    This is the Lovecraftian horror, mountaineering, 1970s-style paranoia, theologically philosophical, paranormal, satanic love story I've been waiting for
