The seed of Annihilation, which I absolutely loved, came to you in a dream.
I spoke with VanderMeer over email about writing in an immersive state, literary cross-pollination, and binge-watching TV.īuzzFeed Exclusive: We have the exclusive first look at the cover of book three, Acceptance, below. Fans of speculative fiction - especially the subgenre of weird fiction - and great writing should put this at the top of their to-read list. VanderMeer writes in taught, atmospheric prose filled with mysteries and uncanny unease. The previous expeditions all ended up dead or returned with their memories gone, before succumbing to cancer. These scientists - referred to only as the anthropologist, the psychologist, the surveyor, and the biologist - are the 12th expedition into this strange region. Books two and three are due out in May and September.Īnnihilation is a tightly written page-turner about a team of female scientists sent to explore a lush-yet-haunting wilderness known as Area X.
His most recent novel is Annihilation, book one of a trilogy that will be published in its entirety in 2014 by FSG. He has published many novels, collections, and non-fiction books (including last year's fantastic Wonderbook: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction), has edited or co-edited over a dozen anthologies, and writes regularly for several papers and journals such as the Washington Post and the New York Times Book Review. Jeff VanderMeer is a writer who does it all.
