Been wanting to finish Annihilation for a while, and it did not disappoint! Jeff VanderMeer completely skips trying to overexplain the mechanics & "science" of Area X, focusing entirely on building this thick, slow-creeping dread that really hooked me right from the beginning. The way it blends cosmic horror with nature quietly taking back the earth is just incredibly eerie.
It's a short read though but the surreal visuals and that heavy, mysterious atmosphere lingered with me for quite some time. Definitely planning to dive into the rest of the trilogy down the line to see where this madness goes!
