Hailed as a 'contemporary masterpiece' by The Guardian and praised by Stephen King as 'creepy and fascinating', Jeff VanderMeer's 'Annihilation' has captivated readers worldwide. This New York Times bestseller and Nebula Award winner for Best Novel has been adapted into a major motion picture, cementing its place in modern literature.

The Financial Times lauds it as 'a psycho-geographical tour de force', whilst the New Statesman describes it as 'powerful and echoing'. This first instalment of VanderMeer's acclaimed Southern Reach trilogy introduces readers to Area X, a mysterious region isolated from civilisation for decades. Despite numerous failed expeditions, the secrets and dangers of Area X remain elusive.

The narrative follows a twelfth expedition comprising four women: an anthropologist, a surveyor, a psychologist, and the protagonist, a biologist. Their mission: to chart the terrain, document their observations, and crucially, avoid contamination by the enigmatic forces within Area X.

Described by The Guardian as 'genuinely potent and dream-haunting' and by The New Yorker as 'arresting, unsettling, and unforgettable', 'Annihilation' stands at the forefront of eco-fiction. A decade after its initial publication, this cosmic mystery has only grown more relevant to our current reality.

This edition features an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, offering readers fresh insights into VanderMeer's haunting narrative.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
