“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
