[PDF] Borne #1 by Jeff Vandermeer Free Download

Have you ever picked up something that looked like a discarded piece of trash, only to have it grow eyes and start mimicking your deepest insecurities? Because that’s exactly how I felt three chapters into Borne.

I’ll be honest: I went into this expecting something along the lines of Annihilation—you know, that shimmering, existential dread where nature just decides humans are obsolete. But VanderMeer didn't just give us a "weird forest" this time. He gave us a ruined city, a giant flying psychotic bear named Mord, and a protagonist, Rachel, who decides to "mother" a biotech creature she found tangled in that bear’s fur.

It’s messy. It’s gooey. And frankly, it made me question my own attachment to my houseplants.
