I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting from this book and I'm honestly still a little unsure as to what I actually got. Would I classify this as horror, a phycological thriller, or just bizarre? Would it have been more frightening reading a physical copy vs. listening to an audio while doing house chores? Probably. Regardless, the story was enthralling - but would not advise reading after dark.
Annihilation is the story of the twelfth expedition to enter Area X, of which we know very little. The official story is one of environmental catastrophe, but that doesn't explain how all eleven previous expeditions have brought back more questions than answers. Entire expeditions have disappeared, turned on and killed each other, returned shadows of their former selves, etc. - the commonality is that no one comes back from Area X, not really. But why?
