Praise for Dead Astronauts

Praise for Jeff VanderMeer

"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

"Creepy and fascinating." --STEPHEN KING, on The Southern Reach Trilogy

"[Jeff VanderMeer] makes the horrific beautiful." --NISI SHAWL, The Seattle Times, on Annihilation

"Unsettling and un-put-down-able--like an old-fashioned adventure story, only weirder, beautifully written and not at all old-fashioned." --KAREN JOY FOWLER, BookPage, on Annihilation

"More than just a horror novel; there's something Poe-like in this tightening, increasingly paranoid focus. But where Poe kept his most vicious blows relatively oblique, VanderMeer drives them deep--albeit in a corkscrewing way that is not less cruel and exquisite." --N.K. JEMISIN, The New York Times Book Review, on Authority

A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden.

Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a city with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth?all the Earths.
