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?

Golden seizes your heart in his hands
Chuck Wendig
A claustrophobic snowstorm that will leave you terrified
Sarah Pinborough, author of BEHIND HER EYES
A clever, original, and macabre re-imagining of one the world's oldest stories
Paul Tremblay, author of A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS
Christopher Golden's masterpiece...I loved it!
Brian Keene
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
Josh Malerman
This is the Lovecraftian horror, mountaineering, 1970s-style paranoia, theologically philosophical, paranormal, satanic love story I've been waiting for

Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Josh Malerman, author of BIRD BOX
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
Kirkus
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
The Eloquent Page
A very well-written, satisfying, frightening, chilly and gory horror extravaganza
For Winter Nights
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
This Is Horror
Masterful high-energy horror writing from an author at the top of his game
Starburst
Oh boy, this book. Intense and exciting and so, so immersive
Dual Reads
Golden puts it all together with tremendous skill and a gleeful relish
Financial Times
Atmospheric and truly chilling
