Yes, that’s the one.
Great. Definitely the kind of story I like.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The Southern Reach trilogy is awesome! One of my faves. For me, definitely a case where the book(s) far better than the movie. VanderMeer also edited a huge collection of weird short stories, called, appropriately enough, The Weird. Highly recommend it.
@Vincent_Vincent, have you read Algernon Blackwood’s longish short story The Willows? Has elements of folk and weird and even Lovecraftian horror. Another fave. Search for free downloads of it.

I didn’t realize there was another book! I’ll be checking it out…although I should probably reread the others first, to remember where we left off. 
I’m only about 30 pages in and I can already tell it is one of the best I’ve read lately. (It is already well on its way to make it to my top ten or so.)

Thank you for your supplemental suggestions @JimRac, I will definitely check these out too.

Really sorry cannot help. (Needed 20 characters)
I would also like to interrupt this conversation to say that I have nothing to add.

Just finished reading Annihilation.
Pretty cool. I’ll be reading the other books of the series.
I found some of the descriptions vague and hard to grasp – especially near the end … (could very well be that English is not my first language ; although usually it ain’t a problem) –, but for everything else I really liked it.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

It’s kind of like that for native English speakers, too. I think it’s intentional, a way of showing the protagonist’s altered mental state as they become part of Area X .
