Monstrous Creatures

“In the hands of a brilliant writer like Jeff VanderMeer, writing fantasy can be a means of serious artistic expression. In VanderMeer's hands, it is also playful, poignant, and utterly, wildly, imaginative.” PETER STRAUB

Technologized Desire

"An ambitious undertaking, analyzing the currents of all these information flows and examining them for patterns and meaning with a keen, postmodern eye." THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION

Horror Isn't a 4-Letter Word

"Most of the essays in this book were written just as Warner was making a name for himself in the horror lit community, which grant them an added authenticity and accessibility … These pieces subtly challenge the mainstream misconception that horror is dangerous, meritless junk food." RUE MORGUE
