The 'Borne' series by Jeff VanderMeer is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of a biotech company have left behind bizarre and sometimes dangerous creatures. At the heart of the series is Rachel, a scavenger who discovers a strange creature tangled in the fur of a giant, flying bear named Mord. This creature, which she names Borne, starts as an enigmatic lifeform but evolves into something much more complex. The novels explore themes of survival and humanity amidst the ruins, with Rachel caring for Borne almost as a surrogate child, despite the warnings from her partner, Wick. Whereas 'Borne' captivates with its imaginative flair, 'The Strange Bird' and 'Dead Astronauts' expand on the universe, introducing new perspectives and deeper complexities of the dystopian world. If you're intrigued by unique storytelling that mixes the surreal with profound emotional arcs, this series is a must-read.
