About this product
Product Information
From the author of Borne and Annihilation comes the one-volume hardcover reissue of his cult classic Ambergris Trilogy. More than twenty years ago, Jeff VanderMeer first introduced the world to the fictional city of Ambergris, a beautiful and sinister sprawling metropolis populated by artists and thieves, composers and murderers, geniuses and madmen. Ambergris bristles with intellectual fervor and religious rivalries; it thrives on cultural upheaval, and its politics are never short on intrigue, conspiracy, and even terror. There are stories within stories, mystery, mayhem, and a dark history that threatens to consume the city itself as the gray caps, the mysterious and deadly mushroom people who once ruled Ambergris and have since been driven underground, now threaten to rise again. Ultimately, the fate of Ambergris comes to lie in the hands of John Finch, a beleaguered detective with a murder on to solve and too many loyalties for one man to bear. The city is bursting at its seams, seemingly held together only by the tense, fraying tendrils of his investigation. The Ambergris trilogy is made up of three novels, each of which has become a cult classic in its own right: City of Saints and Madmen , Shriek: An Afterword , and Finch . It is a marvelous, unparalleled feat of imagination. And yet the books themselves, as celebrated and influential as they have become, have a publishing history as arcane and elaborate as Ambergris itself. Over the years they have slipped in and out of print and have never before been available as a complete trilogy. Until now. For fans both new and old of the work of Jeff VanderMeer, Ambergris is essential reading. Welcome to Ambergris. We can't promise you'll leave untransformed.

Praise for the Ambergris Trilogy "Somewhere at the intersection of pulp and surrealism, drawing on the very best of both traditions, is Jeff VanderMeer''s Ambergris. Unsettling, erudite, and shot through with unexpected humor...Ambergris is one of my favourite haunts in fiction" --China Mieville on City of Saints and Madmen "This is fiction to stand alongside that of Calvino and Borges." --The Guardian on City of Saints and Madmen "Make the most of the tapestry of tales and visions before you. It is a rare treasure, to be tasted with both relish and respect. It''s what you''ve been looking for." --Michael Moorcock on City of Saints and Madmen " City of Saints and Madmen packs so much literary and emotional matter into the confines of one city...VanderMeer keeps going deeper, and finding new forms of gold."-- Locus Magazine on City of Saints and Madmen "As complicated, impressive, and compelling as anything he has written...Twisted, darkly funny, and ultimately rewarding." --Jon Courtenay Grimwood, The Guardian on Shriek: An Afterword "In the hands of a brilliant writer like Jeff VanderMeer, writing fantasy can be a means of serious artistic expression. In VanderMeer''s hands, it is also playful, poignant, and utterly, wildly, imaginative." --Peter Straub on Shriek: An Afterword ''Like some delicious mash-up of H.P. Lovecraft, Mervyn Peake, and L. Frank Baum, but with his own verbal dexterity and perverse ingenuity...[An] affecting narrative about love, art, sibling rivalry, commerce, history, and some really nasty ''shrooms." --Paul Di Filippo, Washington Post on Shriek: An Afterword "Wildly inventive...With literary stylings, a complex plot, and ideas that lesser writers could not imagine, it further establishes him as the finest fantasist of his generation."--Rick Klaw, Austin Chronicle on Shriek: An Afterword "Here is a desert island book, a tale you can lose yourself in for days, a novel of character in which the setting--the magnificently gritty city-state named Ambergris--proves as the light fails to be the finest character of all." --Gene Wolfe on Shriek: An Afterword "Fungal noir. Steampunk delirium. Paranoid spy thriller, quite literally, on ''shrooms." --Richard K. Morgan, author of Altered Carbon on Finch "Utterly original. Utterly convincing. Utterly engrossing."--Lev Grossman on Finch "A fungalpunk nightmare pullulating with dark, phantasmagorical transformations...A stylish detective story, a perverse example of the New Weird fantasy subgenre, and an effective metaphor for the dehumanising effects of...totalitarian regimes." --Eric Brown, The Guardian, on Finch "Intriguing and highly original...wriggles from the grip of easy categorization. It''s full of fantastical elements and genuinely humane ones, too. VanderMeer can write beautifully [and]...insightfully."--Victor Lavalle, Washington Post, on Finch "I would have sworn you can''t unite noir and fantasy, and oh how gloriously wrong Jeff VanderMeer proved me to be...I loved the meeting of the grime and the sublime and oh so beautifully crafted. Rarely has a novel got it all. Think Cormac McCarthy, via David Goodis, with an amazing nod to Lovecraft and still that doesn''t quite capture the spell this novel casts from the off." --Ken Bruen on Finch " Chinatown meets Naked Lunch with a sprinkling of Tetsuo II: The Bodyhammer. A must for fans of fantasy, noir, great writing, or, of course, fungus." --Joe Abercrombie on Finch "Told in a pitch-perfect voice and steeped in the unrelenting menace authentic to the best works of noir, Finch is a wonderful, sad, brutal, and beautiful book. A tour de force." --Paul Tremblay, Praise for the Ambergris Trilogy "Somewhere at the intersection of pulp and surrealism, drawing on the very best of both traditions, is Jeff VanderMeer''s Ambergris.

I've been looking for the Iron Giant art book for 5 years now and I finally found one with a reasonable price. The book arrived quicker than I expected and was packaged very well. I'm so appreciative of the care that went into making sure I got my book safe and sound. The book itself was just as described with minor damages to the sleve but thats to be expected. I truly cannot thank you enough, this will be a fine addition to my ever growing art book collection. 10/10 seller. ⭐👍
