Publisher Description
"La Zone X, mystérieuse, mortelle. Et en expansion. Onze expéditions soldées par des suicides, meurtres, cancers foudroyants et troubles mentaux. Douzième expédition. Quatre femmes. Quatre scientifiques seules dans une nature sauvage. Leur but : ne pas se laisser contaminer, survivre et cartographier la Zone X.
« Un thriller psychologique crispant et glacial... Un peu de Kubrick, beaucoup de Lovecraft, le roman provoque une tension insupportable et une peur claustrophobique qui vous habite longtemps. J’ai adoré. »
LAUREN BEUKES
« Original, beau, angoissant et magnifique. »

« Effrayant et fascinant. »

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The unnamed narrator of this brilliant first in a trilogy from fantasy author Vandermeer (City of Saints and Madmen) tells of her ever-more-terrifying, yet ever-more-transcendent experiences, as she, a biologist, and the three other members of her all-women team (a surveyor, an anthropologist, and a psychologist) set out to explore Area X, for some unspecified number of years deliberately isolated from its surroundings. Theirs is the 12th expedition to Area X, sent two years after the last attempt; the team hopes to discover why the zone, so lush and beautiful at first look, is a place from which none return at least not in the same form that they entered. Using evocative descriptions of the biologist's outer and inner worlds, masterful psychological insight, and intellectual observations both profound and disturbing calling Lovecraft to mind and Borges Vandermeer unfolds a tale as satisfying as it is richly imagined.
