—ANNALEE NEWITZ, io9
“[I] finished the entire thing in less than a day, knowing it finally for the strange, clever … altogether fantastic book that it is.”
—JASON SHEEHAN, NPR
“Its deepest terror lies in its exploration of … the human heart, and the terror that can grow from the ways in which we are untrue to each other, and to ourselves.”
—JARED BLAND, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
“Fans of the Lost TV series … this one is for you.”
—MOLLY DRISCOLL, The Christian Science Monitor
“What frightens you? According to many psychologists, our most widely shared phobia is the fear of falling. Jeff VanderMeer’s novel Annihilation taps into that bottomless terror … VanderMeer ups the book’s eeriness quotient with the smoothest of skill, the subtlest of grace. His prose makes the horrific beautiful.”
—NISI SHAWL, The Seattle Times
“Much of the flora and fauna seem familiar, but that’s what’s so fascinating about the carnage that VanderMeer sets loose. He has created a science fiction story about a world much like our own.”
—JOHN DOMINI, The Miami Herald
“Annihilation feels akin to [the] isolated sci-fi terrors of Alien … [It] teases and terrifies and fascinates.”
—KEVIN NGUYEN, Grantland
“In much of Jeff VanderMeer’s work, a kind of radiance lies beating beneath the surface of the words. Here in Annihilation, it shines through with warm blazing incandescence. This is one of a grand writer’s finest and most dazzling books.”
—PETER STRAUB, author of Lost Boy, Lost Girl
“Original and beautiful, maddening and magnificent.”
—WARREN ELLIS
“A tense and chilling psychological thriller about an unraveling expedition and the strangeness within us. A little Kubrick, a lot Lovecraft, the novel builds with an unbearable tension and a claustrophobic dread that linger long afterward. I loved it.”
—LAUREN BEUKES, author of The Shining Girls
“A dazzling book … Haunted and haunting.”
—KELLY LINK, author of Magic for Beginners
