Reddit reviews Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance

I don’t really have any movie suggestions, but Annihilation is loosely adapted from a book trilogy called The Southern Reach. I highly suggest picking it up. You can find a hardcover containing all three books called Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy on Amazon.

I just saw this today: The Deep by Nick Cutter. Also, it looks like Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy will be available as a hardback. Definitely excited for A Mountain Walked as well. Today there is a review on Arkham Digest for Unseaming.

HP Lovecraft is the most obvious literary destination. If you've never read him you're in luck, as there are two more or less complete collections of his work: if you're a stickler for accuracy try this one and if you want to get something beautiful but with some typos and errors you can order this exquisite leather-bound edition (even its marbled endpapers hide monsters).

In terms of more modern stuff, Jeff Vandermeer's Area X trilogy is some of the best Lovecraft-infused fiction I've read. Which is no surprise when you know that his wife is the current editor of Weird Tales, one of the first places to publish Lovecraft. Indeed, they've actually put out an anthology of Lovecraftian short stories by all sorts of writers, old and new, including Lovecraft.

In terms of movies, I hope at some point Guillermo del Toro will get to make his At the Mountains of Madness film, but the fact that he hasn't speaks to the difficulty of a) financing expensive R-Rated horror movies b) parsing Lovecraft's gloomy visions with hero-driven narrative. One of the few films to nail the tone, even if its execution leaves something to be desired, is Frank Darabont's The Mist.

Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer might fit the bill. I enjoyed it and the ecosystem is a main character.

I see it for around $23 https://www.amazon.com/Area-Southern-Annihilation-Authority-Acceptance/dp/0374261172/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506613653&sr=8-1&keywords=area+x+hardcover

Had never heard of this. Just picked up the Trilogy in a single hardcover here. $23 seems like a deal.

Straight out of the Southern Reach Trilogy.

I wish the whole series was as good as the first book.
