Best Jeff VanderMeer Novels

Annihilation is another excellent read by Jeff VanderMeer. The book begins with an entry into area X. Area X is a highly contaminated environment, that was abandoned by humans very many years ago. The government of Southern Reach that is responsible for Area X is responsible for organizing expeditions into the area. Annihilation is the story of the twelfth expedition that is comprised of anthropologist, biologist, surveyor, and psychologist. The biologist is the narrator of the novel. In many ways, Area X is a pristine wilderness, which has not been touched by humans for so many years. The author, through the biologist, lavishes the details of the landscape, thereby establishing the reader to a setting that is both uncanny and familiar. The blue sky, the trees, the wetlands, the high number of unidentified reptiles, the low moaning phenomenon which usually occurs in the morning and the fungal life.

The author’s description, of the environment, are exceedingly vivid and appropriate to not only the biologist but also in the process serving an unbalance and orient to the reader. The ever-shifting relationship of the characters contributes to the uneasiness of the reader. It soon becomes clear to the biologist that there is more to what meets the eye. The psychologist is the leader of the expedition. She appears to know more than what she was saying and is always armed with phrases, which provide her with influence over the others. In some cases, she even subverts their independence. The main focus of this storyline is the examination of two landmarks, the tower which is a strange inversion of the lighthouse and the lighthouse that appears on the map of the team and appears to have been used as the scene of an exceedingly vicious assault.

With that said, this novel is not only a masterpiece but also a wonderfully created novel, which constantly demands the reader’s attention. The author’s storytelling skills are phenomenal. He not only makes use of the setting but also the plotting and character to create a growing sense of fear in the reader and also need to control the source of the fear. Despite the fact that this is a 200-page turner, the story is bigger, complex and mysterious. There are numerous small things which get mentioned in the novel, thereby making one think, there is more to it. This is an exceedingly enjoyable read in a mind-bending way.
