Praise for the Southern Reach Trilogy: ‘I’m 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 'Unsettling and unputdownable like a good old-fashioned adventure story, only weirder, beautifully written and not at all old-fashioned' Karen Joy Fowler, Bookpage ‘This trilogy is a modern mycological masterpiece … Remarkable … Tense, eerie and unsettling … Genuinely potent and dream-haunting writing. VanderMeer has arrived’ Guardian 'An ever-creeping map of the apocalypse' Colson Whitehead 'Revelatory, terrifying and marvellous' Helen MacDonald ‘A teeming science fiction that draws on Conrad and Lovecraft alike’ Sunday Telegraph ‘A lasting monument to the uncanny … You find yourself afraid to turn the page’ Guardian ‘VanderMeer’s novel is a psycho-geographical tour de force, channelling Ballard and Lovecraft to instil the reader with a deep, delicious unease’ Financial Times 'The payoff is absolutely worth the patience' N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times Book Review ‘So disquietingly strange as to defy summarisation. Read it’ Daily Mail ‘Astonishing, frightening, spectacular … I hope the trilogy will come to be seen not only as the instant sci-fi classic it is, but also as Literature’ 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
