A review by bluejayreads
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

3.75

This book was a pretty solid horror story. It had a very strong SCP vibe to it, with a lot of aspects that reminded me of SCP-610. It was very eerie and had a lot of buildup in a very cool and incredibly creepy distorted natural world. However, I found the ending anticlimactic. There was a lot of potential in the mysterious creature and the body horror that never came to fruition. It had a lot of horror buildup, but missed that intense horror climax and release. It was perfectly fine on the whole, and very good in parts. I have no desire for a sequel - there are questions remaining, sure, but this is the kind of book where they don't seem to require answers.
