Description

Christopher Golden's Ararat is the heart-pounding tale of an adventure that goes wrong - on a biblical scale. When an earthquake reveals a secret cave hidden inside Mount Ararat in Turkey, a daring, newly engaged couple are determined to be the first ones inside...and what they discover will change everything.

The cave is actually a buried ancient ship that many quickly come to believe is Noah's Ark. When a team of scholars, archaeologists, and filmmakers make it inside the ark, they discover an elaborate coffin in its recesses. Inside the coffin, they find an ugly, misshapen cadaver - not the holy man they expected, but a hideous creature with horns. Shock and fear turn to horror when a massive blizzard blows in, trapping them thousands of meters up the side of a remote mountain. All they can do is pray for safety. But something wicked is listening to their prayers...and it wants to answer.

Meh

I did want to know what happened so I returned to this book and finished it - if that’s an indication. I wasn’t overly impressed because it read so much like every horror trope: people don’t believe the smart people until it’s too late (but kind of the entire plot is them not believing what is right in front of their eyes). I grew tired of that. I may look at the second book in the series because it wasn’t awful and the premise sounds more interesting.

Felt like it was written for me.

*4.5 Stars

I love a story with a mysterious monster, make it biblical in nature and I am hooked. Ararat is one of those books I had been eyeing for a while before finally embarking on the voyage.

Golden masterfully created his cast of characters, although listed as Ben Walker #1, there were many other characters with critical roles. All of these characters were exceptionally developed with values and vices. These players in the story pulled me in and kept me wanting more.

I’ve got a couple of self-defined categories that I love; the first I refer to as archaeological adventure, these are modern-based stories that poke into ancient cultures; the second is biblical horror. Golden captured both of these sub-genres perfectly in one fantastic story.

As a former classical studies student, I love stories that look back into the past, a new, different view of what once was. These stories often offer a what if? aspect to the past, and I often find it helps me bond with the story and the characters.

It’s hard to beat biblical horror, it plays off the belief system I was raised with. Monsters are fine and all, but I always find there is something more realistic when it’s based on my own beliefs.

My foray into Ararat was via the audiobook. The narration was well done and enhanced my experience. Robert Fass conveyed the story without really being noticed just for being the narrator.

Ararat kicked off with a great hook and kept me entrenched in the story.
