Shark Drunk – Morten Strøksnes

In the great depths surrounding the remote Lofoten islands in Norway lives the Greenland shark. Twenty-six feet in length and weighing more than a tonne, it can live for 200 years. Its fluorescent green, parasite-covered eyes are said to hypnotise its prey, and its meat is so riddled with poison that, when consumed, it sends people into a hallucinatory trance.

Armed with little more than their wits and a tiny rubber boat, Morten Strøksnes and his friend Hugo set out in pursuit of this enigmatic creature. It is a love song to the sea, in all its mystery, hardship, wonder and life-giving majesty.

Delightfully jacketed as a small format hardback, our cover is an adaptation of the beautiful American jacket by designer Oliver Munday.
