THE BASIS FOR A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE NEBULA AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
With an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler
In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's now-classic Southern Reach series, Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades and nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilisation. Expedition after expedition into Area X has failed to uncover its mysteries and the true nature of its danger to the world.
Now a twelfth expedition makes the attempt, a group of four women: an anthropologist, a surveyor, a psychologist and the narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X.
A harrowing cosmic mystery at the vanguard of eco-fiction, Annihilation has only become more pertinent to our reality ten years after its first publication.
'Powerful and echoing' NEW STATESMAN

Pressestimmen
Praise for ANNIHILATION 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
'What a haunting book this is, lodging deep in the memory in similar fashion to otherworldly classics such as David Lindsay's A Voyage To Arcturus . . . Annihilation is 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
