Re: "Anyone here read Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy?"
Yeah it’s not for everyone I personally loved it though

I've also only read the first one, Annihilation. I *quite* liked it, silly that I haven't yet grabbed the other two. VanderMeer's approach to cosmic horror is very appealing to me.

Yes! Very much my type of thing. Though when I read the first book I didn't like the writing style very much at all. But I got used to it eventually and really enjoyed the other two. I also enjoyed Bourne and Dead Astronauts (also by VanderMeer). I do think, though he claims otherwise, that it was basically a combination of HP Lovecraft in general with Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Stugatsky (one of my favorite novellas).
