Stephen R. Donaldson
Fungal noir. Steampunk delirium. Paranoid spy thriller . . . A clear signal, if one were ever needed, that VanderMeer remains one of modern fantasy's most original and fearless pioneers
Richard K. Morgan
Wow, what a cool novel. Heavy with shadows and dark as sin detective fantasy... Hell I loved it. In fact, I'm a little jealous
Joe R. Lansdale
Finch just blew me to hell and gone... Think Cormac McCarthy... with an amazing nod to Lovecraft and still that doesn't capture the spell this novel casts
Ken Bruen
Fans of the <i>avant garde</i> will appreciate VanderMeer's latest work. VanderMeer skillfully pairs horror motifs with dreamlike imagery
Wall Street Journal
One of the most eagerly awaited books of the year... If H.P. Lovecraft had collaborated with Raymond Chandler the result might have been something like this... a chilling, thrillingly bizarre original

AMBERGRIS: 239 Manzikert Avenue, Apartment 525.
Two dead bodies lie on a dusty floor. One corpse is cut in half, the other is utterly unmarked. Only one is human.
Ambergris is occupied, ruined and rotting. Its buildings are crumbling, or mutating into moist and hostile new life forms.

With no leads and one week to conclude his investigation, Detective John Finch is about to find himself in the cross-hairs of every spy, rebel, informer and traitor in town. And what he discovers will change Ambergris forever...
