About this listen

 ’A contemporary masterpiece’ Guardian

THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE EXTRAORDINARY SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY – NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ALEX GARLAND (EX MACHINA) AND STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND OSCAR ISAAC

For thirty years, Area X has remained mysterious and remote behind its intangible border – an environmental disaster zone, though to all appearances an abundant wilderness.

The Southern Reach, a secretive government agency, has sent eleven expeditions to investigate Area X. One has ended in mass suicide, another in a hail of gunfire, the eleventh in a fatal cancer epidemic.

Now four women embark on the twelfth expedition into the unknown.

A mediocre read

While the prose is evocative, visualizing the bizarre flora and fauna felt like a monumental task, making me long for the immersive power of cinema. This is a story that seems inherently suited for the big screen's visual capabilities. However, the narrator's performance was exceptional, grounding the abstract horrors with a compelling voice. Ultimately, "Annihilation" is a captivating but challenging read, perhaps best appreciated for its atmosphere and the narrator's skill in conveying its unsettling nature.
