Hardcover. From the New York Times bestselling author of Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer's first novel, Veniss Underground, takes readers on a journey to a labyrinthine city of tunnels, and the dangers lurking behind each turn. This special hardcover edition features five bonus stories from the Veniss universe, including the novella "Balzac's War." In a dark and decadent far future, the city of Veniss persists beside a dead ocean. Earth has become a desert wasteland ravaged by climate change. Veniss endures on the strength of its innovative tech of almost Boschian intensity, but at what cost? Where does the line between "made creature" and "person" lie? Against this backdrop, Veniss Underground spins the tale of Nicholas, an aspiring, struggling Artist; his twin sister, Nicola; and Shadrach, Nicola's former lover. A fateful trip by Nicholas to the maverick biotech Quin will have far-reaching consequences for all three--and for the fate of Veniss itself, as insurrection stirs and the oppressed begin to revolt. Veniss Underground is Jeff VanderMeer's first novel, a spectacular surreal foray into a world as influenced by Alejandro Jodorowsky as by Ursula K. Le Guin. Readers of VanderMeer's later work will be enchanted and horrified by the marvels within, including the author's signature fascination with the nonhuman and the environment. By turns beautiful and powerful, Veniss Underground explores the limits of love, memory, and obsession against a backdrop of betrayal and biological mutation. This reissue includes a new introduction by the National Book Award-winning author Charles Yu and five bonus stories from Jeff VanderMeer. "The first novel (originally published in 2003) by Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation, including approximately 50,000 words of new material exclusive to this edition"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Back with his DEBUT novel 20 years to the month, complete with FIVE bonus Veniss stories! FIRST EDITION, first printing. Full number line present. Hardcover. Brand new, never read. Personally signed, and dated, directly to the full title page by Mr. VanderMeer. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. Mr. VanderMeer was kind enough to sign this in his hometown of Tallahassee, FL. on 3/11/23 as the title page reads. This is truly a one of a kind collectible as there is not another like it! Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! Photos available upon request. In his debut novel, literary alchemist Jeff VanderMeer takes us on an unforgettable journey, a triumph of the imagination that reveals the magical and mysterious city of Veniss through three intertwined voices. First, Nicholas, a would-be Living Artist, seeks to escape his demons in the shadowy underground but in doing so makes a deal with the devil himself. In her fevered search for him, his twin sister, Nicola, spins her own unusual and hypnotic tale as she discovers the hidden secrets of the city. And finally, haunted by Nicola s sudden, mysterious disappearance and gripped by despair, Shadrach, Nicola s lover, embarks on a mythic journey to the nightmarish levels deep beneath the surface of the city to bring his love back to light. There he will find wonders beyond imaginingand horrors greater than the heart can bear. By turns beautiful, horrifying, delicate, and powerful, Veniss Underground explores the limits of love, memory, and obsession in a landscape that defies the boundaries of the imagination. This special edition includes the short stories The Sea, Mendeho, and Moonlight ; Detectives and Cadavers ; and A Heart for Lucretia and the novella Balzac s War, offering a complete tour of the fantastic world of Veniss.
