For seekers of haunting questions, those who enjoy eco-horror and a story of what the earth could become when it stops recognizing us. Unsettling and uncomfortable in the best way. Thought-provoking. Clever and steady paced.
Good fit for fans of T.Kingfishers "What moves the dead" or Silvia Moreno-Garcia''s Mexican Gothic but laced with much more scientific curiosity and a heavier helping of dystopia

Fantastic dive into the incomprehensible
Came into this with high expectations and boy they were met.
As a biologist this is way too relatable. even down to personality.
VanderMeer has such a unique way with prose that is unmatched with anyone else I have read.
(at the end of the day though this is truly my thought process when I take an edible and walk in the woods)
