An incendiary speculative fiction novelette from the NYT bestselling author of the Southern Reach trilogy. Meet your cast of characters: Angels and ghost frogs, trans dimensional komodo dragons and secret forces using luna moths for surveillance. Want to traverse space and time to avoid the komodos tracking your scent? All you have to do let yourself be devoured by a giant undead bear. Confused yet? You should be. But this is the secret world our nameless narrator has stumbled into, ever since being rescued by the angels from an exploding airplane. And she'll make sense of it for you or die trying.

Child, standing there in your flower dress considering me with those wide eyes while the band plays out in the courtyard... I'm going to tell you a story.

I've became a fan of the author after falling in love with the Annihilation trilogy and have become quite obsessed, determined to read all of his books. I thoroughly enjoyed Komodo, bizarre, hilarious, and strange - in good way. The story is narrated by someone unnamed telling his bizarre and almost unbelievable story to a faceless child. The narrator's story is weird and involves angels and exploding airplanes and time-travelling komodos and a dead bear. I thought it was terrific.
