Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance

"If the guys who wrote Lost had brought H.P. Lovecraft into the room as a script doctor in the first season, the Southern Reach trilogy is what they would’ve come up with. Haunted landscapes, a mysterious lighthouse, sea monsters, wormholes, insane government agents — Jeff VanderMeer’s three slim volumes have it all. And while it parades itself as a kind of straight-up horror/mystery tale, the Southern Reach trilogy plumbs some deep territory regarding what is real, what is true and how the things we see are not always the things that are there before us."
