Golden seizes your heart in his hands
- Chuck Wendig,
A claustrophobic snowstorm that will leave you terrified
- Sarah Pinborough, author of BEHIND HER EYES,
Golden puts it all together with tremendous skill and a gleeful relish
Financial Times
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
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, 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 <i>Ararat </i>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 <i>Ararat</i> 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

Dual Reads
