Order of Jeff VanderMeer Books

Jeff VanderMeer is one of the most unique and unconventional authors active today. He is perhaps most recognized for the Southern Reach series, which began with Annihilation. This book was adapted into a film featuring Natalie Portman and directed by Alex Garland. Born in Pennsylvania in 1968, VanderMeer spent a significant part of his childhood in the Fiji Islands due to his parents' involvement in the Peace Corps. He later attended the University of Florida for his studies. His desire to become a writer was sparked by Angela Carter’s novel The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman. VanderMeer is married to Ann Kennedy, and they reside in Florida.

Jeff VanderMeer became a published novelist in 1987 with the novel Predator (By: Paul Monette). Below is a list of Jeff VanderMeer's books in order of when they were originally released:
