I do not know what to say about this which would not be a giant spoiler for the whole series. I became aware of it when I read that it was going to be made in to a movie with Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac. "Wow!" I thought. But, to be honest, I do not know how they are going to make a movie of this, because so much goes on inside the characters' heads. Parts of Annihilation, sort of melded in my head with Marrow Island, when I thought Southern Reach was an eco-disaster kind of thing, but later... *pulls hair* I just don't know! I have not read any Lovecraft, though I've seen this series compared to that type of writing, or maybe Welcome to Night Vale but without the sense of normalcy-within-the-abnormal. It's all sort of drilling a hole in the back of my brain somewhere. (Which is not an actual spoiler for the books, but, who knows? It could be.)
