The Southern Reach is a science fiction trilogy by author Jeff VanderMeer, some weeks ago I released a video covering the first book in the series, Annihilation. Annihilation, which was adapted into a film in 2018, introduces to us the mystery of Area X. Though the first book excellently sets the stage for one of the most authentic cosmic horror tales since HP Lovecraft, the mysteries of the series really unfold in the following two books, Authority, and Acceptance. Each of the books were released in 2014 just months apart from each other. Now that I've finished the entire trilogy my recommendation is to read them as a single book, as the three together tell a complete story. These three books definitely make up one of the most mind bending trilogies that I've read in the last few years. In this video we will journey beyond the border into the mind breaking corridor of Area X. <br> <br>What is the secret of Area X, why is it here, what does it want? What is the otherworldly creature known as the “Crawler” who etched its eerie sermon along the walls of the tunnel referred to as the tower? What role did the lighthouse keeper play in all these strange events, and what are the motives of the mysterious organizations the Seance and Science Brigade, and the Southern Reach? This series is one of the most interesting cosmic horror stories that I’ve read, it maintains its mystery but provides satisfying answers to many of the primary questions, for those that look hard enough. In my opinion this Trilogy can be seen almost as a retelling of HP Lovecraft’s the color out of space, essentially it is a first contact story, and like the color out of space, it points out that our definition of life might be quite limited. Given the vastness of the universe, who knows what strange forms may come into existence, and who can say how contact with life on earth would affect said entities, and what effect they may have on us. <br> <br>For reasons that remain obscure it all began, at least from the perspective of earth, along the forgotten shore, a shore that had long been known to conjure twisted stories among its inhabitants; there were plenty of eerie whispers about things seen and heard. Something happened there 30 years prior to the events of Annihilation, the &quot;Event&quot;, in present day the place is devoid of human life and nature has reclaimed it, it is now Area X. This video will contain major spoilers for the southern reach trilogy so if you haven’t read them and spoilers are a thing you care about, I suggest you pause this video and come back to it after you've read the series. Otherwise continue forward. <br> <br>?Art: https://docs.google.com/docume....nt/d/1Qh8CMOM7TUMwdc <br>?Music: AREA X - https://youtu.be/mUtsuqv660Y <br>?
