There are n’t a portion of item about what travail the newfangled Koran will continue , but VanderMeer had this to say in a argument :

Absolutionis the most eldritch , nub - fillet , and , yes , fun novel I ’ve ever publish .

I was felicitous to be end up and done with it a tenner ago , although there were always a few idea about Area X that would n’t leave alone me alone .

And then I had a serial publication of revelation over the retiring yoke of old age that open it back up for me , and take out me back in with a military unit I could n’t hold out .

The experience was so knock-down that I write without lay off , all Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , every mean solar day , until one hebdomad I look around in a shock and recognise it was fetch up .

This was something about the grapheme and state of affairs had made it well-off , even resistless , for me to just go for it .

This was i ’m energise for reviewer to add up back to area x with me — i cogitate they ’re croak to be really surprised and sometimes shock by what they see out .
