Body Horror & Transgressive
by Jeff VanderMeer
In a ruined city dominated by a giant flying bear named Mord, a scavenger named Rachel discovers Borne—a sea-anemone-like creature that may be weapon, child, or something stranger still. As Borne grows and learns, their bond forces Rachel to confront what it means to be human in a world where identity itself has become unstable. A haunting, darkly funny exploration of love and survival amid ecological collapse.
