Acceptance

Praise for ACCEPTANCE and the SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY: Im loving 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 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 Guardian 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 Sunday Telegraph A lasting monument to the uncanny You find yourself afraid to turn the page Guardian VanderMeers novel is a psycho-geographical tour de force, channelling Ballard and Lovecraft to instil the reader with a deep, delicious unease Financial Times 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 New Statesman Immersive, insightful and often deeply bloody creepy, this is a startlingly good novel A major work SFX Magazine 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 Original and beautiful, maddening and magnificent Warren Ellis
