Absolution, A New Southern Reach Novel By Jeff VanderMeer, Is Now Available

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through countless virtual worlds and dimensions, I can confidently say that Jeff VanderMeer‘s Southern Reach series has left an indelible mark on my gaming-infused soul. The arrival of Absolution is like a beacon calling me back to Area X, a place that once felt so real it was as if I had stepped out of my gaming chair and into the unknown.


Jeff VanderMeer’s unexpected fourth addition to the Southern Reach series, titled Absolution, has just been released. The renowned author of speculative science fiction and fantasy initially published Southern Reach as a trilogy in 2014. Since then, it has been over three years since any new content related to Southern Reach was released, with the 2018 film adaptation of Annihilation, featuring Natalie Portman and directed by Alex Garland, being the last. However, Southern Reach is now back and expanding the trilogy into a tetralogy, with Absolution being the longest book in the series.

If you enjoyed the movie version but haven’t read the original books, you might be interested in diving into “Annihilation,” as it presents quite a few changes compared to the film. To complete your collection for the series, consider purchasing the 10th Anniversary Editions of Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance, which all share similar covers. However, the most cost-effective choice at the moment is “Area X,” a single-volume hardcover that compiles the original trilogy, priced at just $22. Additionally, you can pair this purchase with the omnibus edition of VanderMeer’s Ambergris Trilogy for another great deal, also priced at $22 – and right now, you can get one of these books for half off due to Amazon’s Buy One, Get One 50% Off book sale, which is ongoing until October 26.
