A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
With an introduction by Helen MacDonald
Area X has rebuffed expedition after expedition for decades, refusing to reveal its secrets. As it expands alarmingly, the Southern Reach agency tasked with its investigation has collapsed in confusion. Now, one last, desperate team crosses the border, determined to reach a remote island that may yet hold vital answers. How was Area X created, and why? Can it be stopped?
In this climactic volume of the Southern Reach trilogy, reality mutates and mysteries resolve, but now that so many questions have answers, the consequences are no less profound - or terrifying.

Praise for ACCEPTANCE and 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
'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
'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
'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
