The Strange Bird: A Borne Story by Jeff VanderMeerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Strange Bird, by Jeff VanderMeer, 2017
Jeff VanderMeer's new novella, The Strange Bird, is beautiful, captivating, and profoundly moving. The story told through the Strange Bird's increasingly desperate perspective, at parts, was almost too painful to bear reading but too beautiful to abandon.
Set in the same wasteland as Jeff VanderMeer's Borne, The Strange Bird enriches the universe of Borne. The story is short enough to be considered a supplemental story, one which weaves through and about its predecessor's ragbag plot.
Readers will likely find this fascinating as a side story to Borne and not necessarily a mandatory narrative. The Strange Bird is as hauntingly tragic as is as remarkable as its unforgettable predecessor.
I rate this novella a 5 out of 5 stars.
