ALEX BAILEY is a journalist for the New York Times. Late one evening, she's abducted and viciously beaten by men who falsely accuse Alex of revealing their illegal activity to authorities. Alex denies her involvement but is subsequently stabbed and left to drown in a flood tunnel. That same night, LEANNA FARROW secretly enters an unused flood tunnel and is startled by a body floating by. Giving chase, she rescues the person and takes pity on her, bringing Alex into the Underground, a subterranean world below New York. After a terror-driven altercation when Alex discovers her rescuer isn't fully human, she seeks Lee out to properly apologize. Gradually, the two grow close. Once Alex fully recovers, she returns Topside and meets GEORGIA BATTLE, a private investigator who Alex later hires to gather what information she can on Lee and her mother while Alex and Lee grow closer. In the midst of this budding romance, Georgia reveals information suggesting Rebecca was involved with the North crime family before disappearing. It's also learned that Rebecca suffers from Huntington's Disease. Armed with this information, Alex confronts Rebecca who gives Alex an ultimatum: keep her secret and freely date Lee or leave the Underground forever. Alex reluctantly accepts her terms, and the two grow close over the holidays until the Underground is breached by armored men. Lee sends Alex to find her mother, but Alex learns too late the Norths have found them. She runs and finds Lee but is too late to save Rebecca, who takes her own life rather than be captured by the soldiers. Devastated, Lee leads Alex back to her lab and the hidden lift cage. Locking Alex in, Lee tearful says goodbye. Alex fights to exit the lift but is taken away from the Underground. Alone, Lee sabotages a machine to explode and turns to face the soldiers cutting their way in while Alex tries to return to the Underground from somewhere Topside.

Even if you have choices, sometimes you only have one worth making. The war had been raging for as long as anyone could remember. The secret, endless war between two opposing sides—one good, one evil. Neither side knows which is which; it is kill or be killed in an invisible conflict where assassination is the weapon of choice. When she was just seventeen, Maria was pulled into this secret war and they killed her lover and stole her child. Now they are telling her to go home. To ignore what she knows is going on in the shadows all around her. They told Maria to forget all she’d lost. The trouble is, some things simply can’t be forgotten. Now, with a loose-cannon killer at her side, Maria is going to do whatever it takes to get back what belongs to her. And that means starting a war of her own…

From the New York Times bestselling author of Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer’s first novel, Veniss Underground, takes readers on a journey to a labyrinthine city of tunnels, and the dangers lurking behind each turn. This paperback edition features the bonus novella “Balzac’s War.” In a dark and decadent far future, the city of Veniss persists beside a dead ocean. Earth has become a desert wasteland ravaged by climate change. Veniss endures on the strength of its innovative tech of almost Boschian intensity, but at what cost? Where does the line between “made creature” and “person” lie? Against this backdrop, Veniss Underground spins the tale of Nicholas, an aspiring, struggling Artist; his twin sister, Nicola; and Shadrach, Nicola’s former lover. A fateful trip by Nicholas to the maverick biotech Quin will have far-reaching consequences for all three—and for the fate of Veniss itself, as insurrection stirs and the oppressed begin to revolt. Veniss Underground is Jeff VanderMeer’s first novel, a spectacular surreal foray into a world as influenced by Alejandro Jodorowsky as by Ursula K. Le Guin. Readers of VanderMeer’s later work will be enchanted and horrified by the marvels within, including the author’s signature fascination with the nonhuman and the environment. By turns beautiful and powerful, Veniss Underground explores the limits of love, memory, and obsession against a backdrop of betrayal and biological mutation. This reissue includes a new introduction by the National Book Award–winning author Charles Yu and a bonus story from Jeff VanderMeer.

"It's something that truly cannot be explained without you experiencing it," I said, then put my nail to my throat, looking down into her curious eyes, pausing. "I will not do anything, I swear. But the only way for you to understand what I mean is for you to experience it. You'll need to drink my blood.""Drink your blood?" she gasped out and jumped back, looking from my throat to my eyes, shaking her head, "What will happen if I do?""At first, you won't like it, and every part of you will tell you to spit it out, but you need to fight it and drink, anyway. Then comes the part that I cannot explain, but it will not hurt you in any way, I swear," I said as I pierced my throat, then pulled my hand away, watching as her eyes went wide in fear when she saw the blood dripping from my throat. "Go ahead," I encouraged, putting my hand at the back of her neck, pulling her to my wound. She pushed against me for a moment but hesitantly brought her mouth to my throat, accepting my blood. When she tasted it, she tried to push against me to get me to release her, but I held her tightly, forcing her to drink it. It was undeniable once the second wave hit her as she immediately moaned against me, pressing her hips against me, rolling, so she was lying on top of me, drinking my blood as quickly as she could, as the only thing she desired more than my blood, was my body.I chuckled softly as she moaned out, wrapping one hand around my shoulder, the other gripping my chest tightly before slowly making its way down until she met the waistband of my pants. As much as I wanted to allow her to continue her descent, I took her hand and placed it back on my shoulder. I suppressed my growl as she continued to rock back and forth against me, making it nearly impossible to not rip her clothes off and give her body what it was craving. 'I know you want it right now, little kitten. But I promised I would not take advantage of you, knowing what my blood was doing to you. But fuck, you are not making this easy.' I thought as I closed my eyes, doing everything I could not take her innocence, though her body was literally begging me to. ***********************************Alaric is the multibillionaire CEO of Athan Co where he has built his empire from the ground up.
