In myths and legends, squids are portrayed as fearsome
sea-monsters, lurking in the watery deeps waiting to devour humans.
Even as modern science has tried to turn those monsters of the deep
into unremarkable calamari, squids continue to dominate the
nightmares of the Western imagination. Taking inspiration from
early weird fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, modern writers such as
Jeff VanderMeer depict squids as the absolute Other of human
civilization, while non-Western poets such as Daren Kamali depict
squids as anything but threats. In Squid, Martin Wallen traces the
many different ways humans have thought about and pictured this
predatory mollusk: as guardians, harbingers of environmental
collapse, or an untapped resource to be exploited. No matter how we
have perceived them, squids have always gazed back at us,
unblinking, from the dark.
