Acerca de esta escucha
A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own.
Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden.
Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a city with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives - human and otherwise - converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth - all the Earths.

Historia
Set in the mysterious and magical city of Veniss, a surreal metropolis that sits over an underground labyrinth of tunnels and mines. In this tale, epic and mythological in scope, VanderMeer takes the listener below the surface of the earth to the dark and decadent future. It’s a world where Living Artists craft works out of biological material, and humans are either tossed out or recycled into something wholly unrecognizable.

Jonathan Lambshead stands to inherit his deceased grandfather’s overstuffed mansion - a veritable cabinet of curiosities - once he and two schoolmates catalog its contents. But the three soon discover that the house is filled with far more than just oddities: It holds clues linking to an alt-Earth called Aurora, where the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley has stormed back to life on a magic-fueled rampage across a surreal, through-the-looking-glass version of Europe replete with talking animals (and vegetables).

Historia
Thomas Ligotti’s debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Historia
The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the center of the world. Humans and mutants and arcane races brood in the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the river is sluggish with unnatural effluent and foundries pound into the night. For a thousand years, the Parliament and its brutal militias have ruled over a vast economy of workers and artists, spies and soldiers, magicians, crooks, and junkies. Now a stranger has arrived, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand. And something unthinkable is released.

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself). Although she still gets in the way, she understands that the only way to save her people is to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder sorcerer who has inhabited the local tower for as long as her people have lived here (though none in living memory has approached it).

Historia
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Narrator Emily Woo Zeller reprises her role as the listener's guide through the beguiling postapocalyptic 'Borne' world. While part of a series, the story is accessible as a stand-alone with its own protagonists.... Zeller's low register and unhurried pace depict ever-present menace, simmering resentment, and indestructible personal bonds between friend and foe alike.... Attuned vocal characterizations of nonhuman characters - including an isolated behemoth, a dark bird, and a mysterious blue fox - facilitate entry into this mesmerizing realm." (AudioFile Magazine)

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Historia
Generations of twin goddesses have long ruled Aeon - until one sister’s betrayal split their world in two. A Great Abyss now divides two realms: one cloaked in eternal night, the other scorched beneath an ever-burning sun. While one sister rules the frozen fortress of Aranth, her twin rules the sand-locked Golden City - each with a daughter by their side. Now those young goddesses must set out on separate, equally dangerous journeys in hopes of healing their broken world. No matter the sacrifice it demands.

In 1912, history was changed by the Miracle, when the old world of Europe was replaced by Darwinia, a strange land of nightmarish jungle and antediluvian monsters. To some, the Miracle was an act of divine retribution; to others, it is an opportunity to carve out a new empire. Leaving an America now ruled by religious fundamentalists, young Guilford Law travels to Darwinia on a mission of discovery that will take him further than he can possibly imagine.

In their Noon Universe novels, they imagined twenty-second-century Earth as a space-faring communist utopia, devoted to guiding the progress of civilization on alien worlds. But as the authors became increasingly disillusioned with life in the Soviet Union, their Noon Universe stories grew darker and more complex as well. The Waves Extinguish the Wind provides the epic conclusion to the Noon Universe saga, as eighty-nine-year-old Maxim Kammerer looks back at his most earth-shattering investigation, which brought an entire era of human civilization to an end.

In this gloriously over-the-top tale, Aoyama, a widower who has lived alone with his son ever since his wife died seven years before, finally decides it is time to remarry. Since Aoyama is a bit rusty when it comes to dating, a filmmaker friend proposes that, in order to attract the perfect wife, they do a casting call for a movie they don't intend to produce. As the resumes pile up, only one of the applicants catches Aoyama's attention - Yamasaki Asami - a striking young former ballerina with a mysterious past. But she is a far cry from the innocent young woman he imagines her to be.

Dizzyingly beautiful and worth the work.
I don’t usually write reviews, but I just finished this audiobook and I feel compelled to write something.
This story has a loose narrative, it can be repetitive, and there are times where you might not totally understand what’s going on, but rather, you have to trust VanderMeer’s writing to take you on a journey that you can figure out in greater detail later. This book will ask you to do a lot more than most modern novels will, but trust me, it’s worth the occasional confusion and extra work.
This is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read/ listened to, and the last few chapters actually left me sobbing.
Lastly, Emily Woo Zeller captures the spirit and beauty of this book perfectly with her soothing but expressive voice. The only complaint I have there is that sometimes her voice is TOO soothing, and I had to go back and re-listen to some parts after I dozed off a little bit.
Please, if you’re a fan of VanderMeer, weird fiction, post apocalyptic science fiction, books that make you think, or even if you’re just curious, give this book a try.

This book combined so many interests of mine into one. Full of visions, depth, obscurity, and all sorts of other trippy goodness.

If you get frustrated trying to follow what is happening in the book, then you are reading it correctly. You have to decide on whether you want to experience Dead Astronauts as exploring disjointed dreams with an evasive thread through them or read/hear it multiple times and note your interpretations of the plots and storylines. It is tough, which is why I gave it four stars but for an experimental work, I think even Jeff would consider that as perfect.

Meditation incognito
His works will transcend you into the state as described. He is a genius. I have never read or heard since was audible any other writer portray a moment to moment flow ,with dark undertones and deep understanding some will never admit even too themselves. He keeps you guessing like you do every moment of the day. You are the story. hypnotizing oneself has never been so fun or brilliant. He can make one meaning into 1000 and 1000 meanings lead to one.
It wouldn’t be the same if anyone other than Emily woo zeller narrates. She makes it even more seductive for your mind from your emotions.

Well-read; hard to follow
This audiobook is really well-produced; Emily Woo Zeller is amazing. But the book is nonlinear and almost surreal, and it’s structured in such a way that I wanted to go back and look at what the author was doing with things like chapter numbers, etc. Overall I found it hard to follow and make sense of.
I’m curious to read it as a book, because I’m wondering if my frustration was with the format. Again, nothing wrong with the audiobook itself; I think it may just be one of those stories that’s better to actually read than to have read to.

What?
Yeah I’m too dumb for this book. I thought it was a fluke with Strange Bird, but no, I’m too dumb. I highly suggest reading along and listening to this. Or more importantly, listening in LARGE chunks. It’s the epitome of “wibbly wobbly timey whimey space stuff”. Coincidentally it’s the second finale to a series of his I just don’t understand. But maybe that’s because every time I heard leviathan/tide pools I kept thinking of Acceptance. Good luck.

Emily Woo Zeller carried me through
I think if I were to sit and read the text of this novel I would have struggled. There's a lot of phrase repetition, numbers that don't necessarily make sense, strange things your can't picture or imagine not because the language is insufficient, but because it's too fantastic and alien to comprehend. The narrator stays the course and keeps us on track. She had excellent range for different voices so I always knew who was talking and she captured their emotions perfectly.
I don't claim to understand everything that happened, but I understood each character's swirl of emotion as they described their experiences. VanderMeer is always a pleasure to read/listen to. I really enjoyed this experience.

Unsure if it is a good read as audio
I have read other Vandermeer titles and enjoy his writing. However, I am unsure if this is a great audiobook because I found it really hard to track what was going on and easily lost track of the time/world they were in if I was distracted for a moment. I also didn’t totally enjoy the narrator.

This should not be an audiobook
The actual paper book has all kinds of notes, drawings, and scribbles in the margins and the author intended the reader to actually *see* these things. In the audiobook, these notes are simply read aloud, so you’re left with the reader spouting random numbers from time to time and it gets super confusing. There really needs to be a disclaimer on this stating that by going the audiobook route, you’ll miss the whole point of the book. It should also tell you to read Borne and Strange Bird first. I gave it 3 stars because the performance is great and I do love anything VanderMeer.
