Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kraken is a 2010 novel arising from the twisted brainpan of China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station and its sequels. It tells the story of Billy Harrow, a curator for the Natural History Museum whose work touring guests around one day is rudely interrupted by the inexplicable disappearance of the museum's preserved giant squid. From there, Billy's day only gets worse as he is drawn into a shadowy London underworld of competing doomsday cults, living tattoos, socialist familiars, and Chaos Nazis.Oh, and the squid? Turns out that half the city is thinking of using it to end the world. Too bad they can't agree on how...Not to be confused with the 2005 novel Kraken: Atrapados en el abismo, which was released in some countries as simply Kraken. | |

Animated Tattoo | |
| Kraken / int_459fb8f5 | comment |
Animated Tattoo: The Tattoo is just that—a tattoo. He's also a mob boss. He used to be a regular person, but his old rival in organized crime Grisamentum captured him and turned him into a tattoo as a Cool and Unusual Punishment, erasing all knowledge of his name for good measure. This didn't stop him. | |

All Myths Are True | |
| Kraken / int_776a06eb | comment |
All Myths Are True: Takes a slightly postmodern or popcultural approach to this idea, but it's definitely there in the work. | |

Anachronistic Clue: Billy finds a murdered man's body preserved in a huge jar in the back halls of the museum. The medical examiner knows to call in Baron's squad when the jar's sealing is dated to a century ago, yet the corpse is discovered to have a punk band's name tattooed on its arm. | |
