Two very fine books are published in the USA today. The first is Redefining Realness by Janet Mock, which I reviewed last week. The other is Annihilation, the first part of the Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer.

I was lucky enough to get a review copy of Annihilation. Now I want to pester the publishers for copies of the other two volumes, because I need to know. I’m not entirely sure what it is I need to know, because there is still so much left to learn. Jeff might even follow Mike Harrison’s example and not explain anything. That’s OK. But knowing that there are two more books out there that might explain some of it is excruciating.

If you do not want to know (and believe me, if you are human, you were probably not meant to know) then do not read my review, which is here.

Oh, well you can’t say I didn’t warn you. Sanity roll, please.
