"More than just a horror novel there's something Poe-like in this tightening, increasingly paranoid focus. KAREN JOY FOWLER, BookPage, on Annihilation NISI SHAWL, The Seattle Times, on Annihilation "Unsettling and un-put-down-able-like an old-fashioned adventure story, only weirder, beautifully written and not at all old-fashioned." STEPHEN KING, on The Southern Reach Trilogy " makes the horrific beautiful." COLSON WHITEHEAD, author of Nickel Boys "Creepy and fascinating." ROBIN SLOAN, author of Sourdough Praise for Jeff VanderMeer "Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy was an ever-creeping map of the apocalypse with Borne he continues his investigation into the malevolent grace of the world, and it's a thorough marvel." Kirkus (starred review) For any adventurous fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and/or horror, this book offers not only a rewarding read but, like, a thing to possess. ADRIENNE WESTENFELD, Esquire VanderMeer is a master of literary science fiction, and this may be his best book yet. In this shattered landscape, VanderMeer explores urgent ideas about capitalism, greed, and natural destruction. CHELSEA LEU, The New York Times Book Review A Mobius strip of a novel, with each chapter containing worlds upon nested worlds, all of them dreamlike and dark. Praise for Dead Astronauts darkly transcendent novel filled with phantasmagoric visions, body horror and tortured beings traversing a blasted desert hellscape. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation.
A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth-all the Earths. A 2020 LOCUS AWARD FINALIST Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a City with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways.
