I saw a review somewhere describe this as a
Definitely requires your complete and undivided focus. I want many quotes from this book on my wall.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, in looking for a way to read this online, I found an academic article about it! Caracciolo, Marco & Ulstein, Gry. (2022). The Weird and the Meta in Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts. Configurations. 30. 1-23. 10.1353/con.2022.0000.
The article classifies the book in the genre of "weird fiction" and mentions a few similar books. It also explains a bit of the plot, so it's a good place to look if you want some clarification on things.
