<p>Praise for ACCEPTANCE and the SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY:</p>
<p>‘I’m loving the Southern Reach Trilogy … Creepy and fascinating’ Stephen King</p>
<p>‘Hauntingly weird and brilliantly new … These are contemporary masterpieces and career-defining novels’ Adam Robert, Books of the Year, <em>Guardian</em></p>
<p>‘This trilogy is a modern mycological masterpiece … Remarkable … Tense, eerie and unsettling … VanderMeer writes much better prose than Poe ever did … This is genuinely potent and dream-haunting writing. VanderMeer has arrived’ <em>Guardian</em></p>
<p>‘A teeming science fiction that draws on Conrad and Lovecraft alike … “Annihilation” shows signs of being the novel that will allow VanderMeer to break through to a new and larger audience’ <em>Sunday Telegraph</em></p>
<p>‘A lasting monument to the uncanny … You find yourself afraid to turn the page’ <em>Guardian</em></p>
<p>‘VanderMeer’s novel is a psycho-geographical tour de force, channelling Ballard and Lovecraft to instil the reader with a deep, delicious unease’ <em>Financial Times</em></p>
<p>‘Astonishing, frightening, spectacular … The imaginative daring and reach with which VanderMeer has invented and executed a concept such as Area X is breathtaking … Powerful and echoing’ <em>New Statesman</em></p>
<p>‘Immersive, insightful and often deeply bloody creepy, this is a startlingly good novel … A major work’ <em>SFX Magazine</em></p>
<p>‘A tense and chilling psychological thriller about an unravelling expedition and the strangeness within us. A little Kubrick, a lot of Lovecraft, the novel builds with an unbearable tension and claustrophobic dread that lingers long afterwards. I loved it’ Lauren Beukes</p>
<p>‘Original and beautiful, maddening and magnificent’ Warren Ellis</p>
The highly anticipated third volume of the haunting, disturbing and evocative Southern Reach trilogy.
It is winter in Area X. A new team embarks across the border, on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknown – navigating new terrain and new challenges – the threat to the outside world becomes only more daunting. In this last instalment of the Southern Reach Trilogy, the mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound – or terrifying.
The highly anticipated third volume of the haunting, disturbing and evocative Southern Reach trilogy.
•This is sci-fi of tremendous quality, which has already launched VanderMeer, well know within the science-fiction community, into the bookselling mainstream.
