Order of Jeff VanderMeer Books
Jeff VanderMeer is one of the most original, and weirdest, authors working today. He is perhaps best known for the Southern Reach series of books which started with Annihilation. That book was adapted into a film starring Natalie Portman and directed by Alex Garland.
VanderMeer was born in Pennsylvania in 1968, but spent much of his childhood in the Fiji Islands as his parents were iin the Peace Corps. He would attend the University of Florida for college. He was inspired to become a writer by Angela Carter’s novel The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman. He is married to Ann Kennedy and the two live in Florida.
