‘Haunting … Annihilation is so disquietingly strange as to defy summarization’ Daily Mail

‘Shot through with echoes of Lovecraft, Orwell, and Kafka … compulsively readable’ Entertainment Weekly

Creepy … an old-style gothic horror novel set in a not-too-distant future. The best bits turn your mind inside out’ Washington Post

‘Immersive, insightful and often deeply bloody creepy, this is a startlingly good novel’ SFX Magazine

‘Annihilation feels akin to isolated sci-fi terrors of Alien … teases and terrifies and fascinates’ Kevin Nguyen, author of My Documents

‘Original and beautiful, maddening and magnificent’ Warren Ellis
