<p>Praise for <em>Dead Astronauts</em>:</p>
<p>‘A genuinely innovative artwork requires time to fulfil its effect. Jeff VanderMeer’s <em>Dead Astronauts</em> is one such work – <strong>bewildering, perplexing, original </strong>– and I would recommend that readers allow it the concentration it demands’ <em>Guardian</em></p>
<p>‘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… <strong>you'll find some of the author's strongest writing and a genuinely original tale of environmental apocalypse</strong>’ <em>SFX Magazine</em></p>
<p>‘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’ <em>New York Times</em></p>
<p>
<strong>Praise for <em>Borne</em>:</strong>
</p>
<p>‘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 <strong>a thorough marvel</strong>’ Colson Whitehead</p>
<p>‘Jeff VanderMeer’s <strong>deeply strange and brilliant </strong>new novel extends the meditation on the central question of non-human sentience in his earlier work … <strong>No one writes a post-apocalyptic landscape like VanderMeer</strong>, so detailed and strange in all its lineaments and topography’ Neel Mukherjee, <em>Guardian</em></p>
<p>‘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, <em>New Statesman</em></p>
<p>
<strong>Praise for <em>The Southern Reach Trilogy</em>:</strong>
</p>
<p>‘ <strong>Creepy and fascinating</strong>’ Stephen King</p>
<p>‘Hauntingly weird and brilliantly new … <strong>These are contemporary masterpieces and career-defining novels</strong>’ Adam Robert, Books of the Year, <em>Guardian</em></p>
