Holy hell. NYT raves don’t get any better:
“A thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction. Mysterious and full of grace, rambling and ducking and shifting for 285 dizzying, blood-soaked, astonishing pages.”

I don't recommend reading a great detailed story about a guy trapped inside a whale and trying to rip his way out after consuming vast amounts of Thanksgiving food and feeling like something is trying to rip itself out of you.
Rereading @danielkraus.com's Whalefall. I was on vacation in Monterey in October and so it resonates even more with me. But as a kid who wanted to be a marine biologist and still has a great love of the sea, this book is such joy to me. Also, who doesn't have daddy issues on some level?

The Autumnal was one of the best horror comics I've read. The dialogue was smooth and the artwork fit the story well. I'm a fan of the Fall so it was also the perfect read for spooky season.
