Jensen, Van
Entry updated 19 January 2026. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US editor, journalist, Comics scriptwriter and author, who may be best known for Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer (2009). He is more direct sf interest for his first novel, Godfall (2023), in which a huge Asteroid about to impact Earth turns out not to be an Alien Macrostructure but an actual three-mile-tall Extraterrestrial. It lands in Nebraska, and is soon drowned in human activity, most of it Paranoid. Threats to science and civilization, including a spate of cult-based serial killings, are everywhere. [JC]
