"A gripping, fast-paced, genre-bending novel full of heart and wonder. Give this one to fans of Ben H. Winters and Dan Chaon."-Portia Kapraun, Library Journal
"A giant's body falls from the sky, exposing extant rifts in a small Nebraska town in Van Jensen's shocking novel Godfall-a murder mystery with a science fiction twist."-Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreword Reviews
"Van Jensen delivers the sense-bending strange in this tale of mystery and wonder."-Gary Phillips, author of One-Shot Harry
"I felt slapped awake by Godfall's brilliant conceit and the profound change witnessed in a small town that suddenly finds itself on a global-and even cosmic-stage. This book is thought-provoking, awe-inspiring, and visionary but always grounded in human particulars."-Benjamin Percy, writer of Wolverine for Marvel Comics and author of The Ninth Metal and Red Moon
"Godfall is a fresh and surprising genre mashup, bringing a laconic small-town sheriff together with a crash-landed alien and a series of brutal killings, beautifully interweaving otherworldly images and naturalistic details of rural Nebraska life. Van Jensen is a terrific writer, and I was under the book's strange and extraordinary spell from start to finish!"-Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk
"Godfall is the genre-mashup novel of my dreams. With breathtaking imagery and razor-sharp prose, Van Jensen gives us a story that is part alien sci-fi, part mystery-with a doomsday cult, a serial killer, and a dash of Sandhill cranes-all set against the beautiful backdrop of rural Nebraska."-Erin Flanagan, Edgar Award-winning author of Deer Season and Blackout
"Godfall blends rural noir with a daring dose of sci-fi to create something wholly new and engaging. Van Jensen comes in hot with his [fiction] debut."-Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity and Miami Midnight
"It isn't easy to infuse magical realism with grit, but Godfall does it with panache. I was under Van Jensen's spell from the first chapter. A striking debut novel from one of my favorite writers."-Kevin Maurer, coauthor of No Easy Day and author of Damn Lucky
