Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilation_(VanderMeer_novel)

I'm almost done with it and then I understand it's part of a trilogy so I'll go hunt down the next book. Its spooky in an X Files way and I'm digging it.

This book made me feel so much dread that I couldn't even finish it.

Absolutely loved Annihilation. I expected Roadside Picnic, but got Lovecraftian incomprehensible horrors, government conspiracies, and main character coming to terms with themselves and events in their life.

Authority is a bit different, but the feeling of dread and being lost is still present throughout the book.

I found Authority jarringly different. It's good in its own way, but... yeah.
