Ugh, I love you, Jeffrey. Not everything he does is perfect of course, as no one is, but everything he does is in earnest.
It is so wild how a dystopian biotech novel can also be about the complicated nature of motherhood. My brain is teeming with Thoughts™

A dark, dystopian, gory sci fi that feels like the best and worst kind of hallucinogenic trip. Wonderfully gruesome imagery that bends the imagination around the kinds of creatures you hope aren’t lurking beneath the ocean.
A story that reflects on what it means to be.

I had a hunch things would end up
Annihilation may be the scariest movie I can remember seeing in my life, but this book takes that unforgettable freak bear and made me feel grateful to be alive.
Also, this author is obsessed with bears.
