One warning: Vandermeers writing is definitely weird. As in, at some point in every novel, you'll have no idea anymore what is real and what is fake or more likely, what is even happening. Sort of like an LSD trip in words.

He's describing a person and suddenly that person is an amorphous blob rolling over a landscape and suddenly that blob is traveling through space and time.

Personally that is not my thing and just looking at the plot summaries of his novels you might not expect it.
