Who’s Afraid of Beowulf? is the second humorous-fantasy novel by popular British author Tom Holt, first published in the UK in 1988 by Macmillan Publishers.
An archaeological dig in Caithness, Scotland uncovers a ship full of sleeping Norse warriors, who wake to fight an ancient enemy. Unlike Holt's other early books, this is not based on any particular opera or well-known mythic cycle.
