![]() ![]() I’m not sure to what degree VanderMeer himself is responsible for that schedule, but I’d like to see it implemented more frequently-not only does it help forgetful folks such as myself remember what the heck is going on, but it requires the author to construct the series as an overarching whole rather than as a succession of sequels. Southern Reach consists of three books: Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance, which were respectively released in February, May, and September of 2014. This is where I jumped on the VanderMeer bandwagon, and I hope to convince you to do the same. Like China Miéville, Jeff VanderMeer got his start as a pioneer in the genre of New Weird although he had decades of experience publishing novels and story collections (not to mention editing anthologies), his work remained highly niche until the release of the Southern Reach trilogy gained mainstream traction in 2014. ![]()
