will make you believe in the power of science mysteries again." - Annalee Nevitz, io9 VanderMeer peels back the skin of the everyday, and gives you a glimpse of a world where science really is stretching the bounds of our knowledge-sometimes to the point where we can't ever be the same. Abrams-style by-the-numbers stories of shadowy organizations and science magic have let you down one too many times, then Annihilation will be more like a revelation. The best bits turn your mind inside out." - Sara Sklaroff, The Washington Post "Successfully creepy, an old-style gothic horror novel set in a not-too-distant future. Annihilation is a book meant for gulping-for going in head-first and not coming up for air until you hit the back cover." - Jason Sheehan, NPR Books "A book about an intelligent, deadly fungus makes for an enthralling read-trust us." - Tara Wanda Merrigan, GQ
The solitary voice of its post-humanist narrator is both deeply flawed and deeply trustworthy-a difficult and excellent balance in a novel whose world is built seamlessly and whose symbols are rich and dark." - Lydia Millet, LA Times a compelling, elegant, and existential story. It's about science as a way of not only thinking but feeling, rather than science as a means of becoming certain about the world. Annihilation is a novel in which facts are undermined and doubt instilled at almost every turn. "VanderMeer masterfully conjures up an atmosphere of both metaphysical dread and visceral tension. "Chilling." - Julie Bosman, New York Times
"VanderMeer's dreamy narrative, shot through with echoes of Lovecraft, Orwell, and Kafka, is compulsively readable." - Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly "I'm loving The Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer.
