Praise for Dead Astronauts: 'A genuinely innovative artwork requires time to fulfil its effect. Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts is one such work - bewildering, perplexing, original - and I would recommend that readers allow it the concentration it demands' Guardian 'There's beauty as well as horror here; moments of weaponised whimsy, plus his usual clear-eyed ecological themes. This is wild science fiction, but it's also an angry book that's very much about the present day. you'll find some of the author's strongest writing and a genuinely original tale of environmental apocalypse' SFX Magazine 'An immersive, fantastical adventure, but also a compelling allegory for the role of individual resistance in the face of seemingly intractable planet-sized problems like climate change' New York Times Praise for Borne: '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' Colson Whitehead 'Jeff VanderMeer's deeply strange and brilliant new novel extends the meditation on the central question of non-human sentience in his earlier work . No one writes a post-apocalyptic landscape like VanderMeer, so detailed and strange in all its lineaments and topography' Neel Mukherjee, Guardian 'From being a very successful SF writer, VanderMeer will become mainstream - and Borne is full of signs that he is already thinking ahead of that easy transition, and perhaps subverting it' Toby Litt, New Statesman Praise for The Southern Reach Trilogy: ' Creepy and fascinating' Stephen King 'Hauntingly weird and brilliantly new . These are contemporary masterpieces and career-defining novels' Adam Robert, Books of the Year, Guardian.
