On July 30th, 4th Estate is proud to be publishing the paperback editions of Jeff VanderMeer’s enthralling and unnerving Southern Reach trilogy. It’s time to reveal some of the most striking and iconic cover art we’ve seen this year…
A very happy New Year to you and all you know, from 4th Estate. 2014 was a fantastic year for books, wasn’t it?

David Cronenberg put us off our dinner with the fantastic techno-thriller Consumed, but Anna Jones set us back on track with her astonishing debut recipe book A Modern Way to Eat. The phenomenal Sali Hughes taught us all we needed to know about beauty (and all we didn’t know we should) in Pretty Honest: The Straight-Talking Beauty Companion, a guide we should all start referring to daily in the new year.

Another day, another giveaway. This time, we’ve got 19 copies of the truly outstanding Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer for you to win, the highly anticipated third book in the Southern Reach trilogy. It is winter in Area X. A new team embarks across the border, on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknown – navigating new terrain and new challenges – the threat to the outside world becomes only more daunting. In this last instalment of the Southern Reach Trilogy, the mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound – or terrifying. Read more…
