MCD/Farrar, Strauss and Giroux have announced a surprise fourth book in Jeff VanderMeer’s hit Southern Reach series.

The new book, titled Absolution, comes 10 years after the books from the award-winning series — Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance — were first published. It takes place in the familiar Area X, and is described by VanderMeer as “the most uncanny, heart-stopping, and, yes, fun novel I’ve ever written.”
