A lasting monument to the uncanny You find yourself afraid to turn the page Guardian
VanderMeers novel is a psycho-geographical tour de force, channelling Ballard and Lovecraft to instil the reader with a deep, delicious unease Financial Times
'The payoff is absolutely worth the patience' N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times Book Review
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
