Fan fiction | Southern reach trilogy

What if.... The Biologist had merged with the other lighthouse instead of turning into a sea monster with thousand eyes.
In her last days the Biologist remained in the failed lighthouse. She had decided to give herself up to the light inside of her. She had stopped hurting herself to induce pain which was somehow keeping the light from consuming her. Now the light kept growing stronger and stranger. She now received so much stimuli that neither her senses nor her brain could keep up. She couldn’t even move her body. She just lay there on the floor. The world around her had begun to seem more and more real. Her body had started to decay or become something else. The light had consumed her entirely. Her flesh now became one with the floor, the walls, the ceilings and the very foundation of the lighthouse. She was dead but also alive. She could feel her body was different, that she was beyond human. Still unable to move, she remained dormant. As if, waiting to be woken from a cosmic nightmare. And then one day she felt something. A strange sensation that told her that there was more to her. More than her, now transformed body. Something had entered within the reach of her senses. Which was more human than herself but still not human. It was on the main coast next to her twin. Strangely she did not think of this other half of herself as her twin, but , the other lighthouse.

It's a #sundayshelfie 📚 What's on your #tbrlist right now? What have you read that was good? The last one I finished was "Shadows Cast by Stars," by Catherine Knutsson. From Amazon's description: "Incorporating the traditions of the First Peoples as well as the more familiar stories of Greek mythology and Arthurian legend, Shadows Cast by Stars is a haunting, beautifully written story that breathes new life into ancient customs." It's insanely good. I bought it on @bookoutlet tho, for less than half the Amazon price. (There's a link to my list of fave books on Amazon, as well as a coupon code for Book Outlet, in my bio. 💛) I'm starting the top book on this #tbrpile -- "A Peculiar Peril," by @jeff_vandermeer123, who is a magician of creating weird worlds. His #southernreachtrilogy is one of my all-time favorites. Tell me about what you're reading?? #whatimreading #readingismagic #readingissexy #bookishgirl #bookshelf #booksarelife #booknerd #booklover #shelfiesunday #tbrstack (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnu7TBQy0KN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favourite sci-fi subgenres is “some crazy sh!t happens in a certain location” subgenre. It amazes me how easily these books conjure up images which I didn’t think my mind was able to produce 😧 They all deserve film adaptations, but in the end, the books turn out to be more thrilling 🤷🏼‍♀️ Unfortunately, I don’t know many books of this genre ☹️: - philosophical “Roadside picnic” by Arkady and Boris Strugatski; - weird, mind-boggling “Annihilation” by Jeff VanderMeer; - beautiful “Spill Zone” by Scott Westerfeld (this graphic novel is my recent find and it steers towards fantasy🤩). Have you read any of those? Do you have any recommendations? #instabooks #instabookstagram #bookstagrammers #whattoread #whattoreadnext #scifibooks #sciencefiction #scifi #sciencefictionbooks #roadsidepicnic #strugatskybrothers #areax #southernreach #southernreachtrilogy #annihilation #jeffvandermeer #philosophicalsciencefiction #weirdfiction #horror #spillzone #graphicnovels #scottwesterfeld (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSDHkabIKKg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Acceptance // Jeff Vandermeer
The Southern Reach trilogy is not your typical easy breezy beach (or boat) read. It’s actually quite dense and involved. You have to be completely within the world to completely grasp what you’re reading. Despite being heavy and technically difficult to read at times, the story draws you in completely.
The world building that Jeff Vandermeer achieves is mind blowing. You fall in love with and find common ground with characters— when you might not even know their names. It’s creepy and beautiful and unsettling in the best way.
I’ve spent my quarantine at home and not on a boat, but I’ve jumped right back into a reread of these books. It’s just as enthralling the second time around.
This series is a must read for any fan of science fiction, contemporary fiction, fantasy, thriller, adventure, or mystery. It’s everything you could ever wish for in a book and more. Vandermeer is constantly spinning together the storylines of forgotten and forged pasts to collide in a faraway, yet familiar Area X.

The woman Garden of B’aal la Fe “A living garden, flourishing, growing mutating, and changing everything in its path...” inspired of the Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer. And the idea of hybridization between flora, fauna and basic and composed elements into a totally new ecosystem biosphere. . Soon more updates on this cover for @nalpaoficial and all behind its creation! 🌺🦟🍀🌸🌺🦎 . #illustration #artoftehanifarr #tehanifarr #drawing #art #watercolor #mexicanartist #dibujo #ilustracion #southernreachtrilogy #jeffvandermeer (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzR1W8qpHjr/?igshid=cfrvedt1cylg

Another detail of the progress @necrohead and I are making on this studio collaboration (real slowly, but I think we're gonna cinch it up tonight). Kind of a neon gummi alligator vibe...very Jeff VanDerMeer, if you're into #southernreachtrilogy etc. What does this evoke for you? (at Barton Springs/Zilker park)

"That’s how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in its reality." -- #southernreachtrilogy by #jeffvandermeer. Have you ever read #thesouthernreachtrilogy books? Annihilation is the first book, and was made into a film. Then Authority, and last is Acceptance. They are weird. Like... WEIRD. The strangest books I've ever read. Also left one of the most lasting marks on me. They are a must, for strange + unusual types, for deep thinker types, for the ones who lay awake at night wondering about layers of weird things in life. Weird. So weird. I cannot recommend them enough. Lol. 🖤 And this quote is just such a favorite. You can find them usually really cheap on BookOutlet - I have a link in my bio. I'm a nerd and addicted to books and when you use my link I earn points to fuel my habit. And speaking of shopping -- I bought this beanie thinking ok cool, cute slouchy fall hat. My kid who is now a much-cooler-than-me tweenager in middle school says, "oh cool, you look like a lesbian now," like I was headed out to meet my barista girlfriend for coffee at a hipster bookstore. I wasn't even mad about it and I'm not sure if she's wrong? I'm very pro-gay I'm just also.. not gay. Lol. So, thoughts on the hat? Now I feel awkward in it. K thx bye. 😘 #storyteller #lifeisastory #girlsinhats #slouchybeanie #booklover #bookishgirl #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #booksarelife #booksaremagic #readingismagic #bookquotes #writersofig #writerscommunity #tellingmystory #makelifebeautiful (at Yakima, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVg8doapqnb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fanart for Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy! 💚🤯 Here's Whitby Allen and John Rodriguez aka Control. Pencil and watercolour, and posca pen to redraw Whitby's hand argh. 🐁🌱🐇 WIPs, finished, and detail. I loved Annihilation and Authority (book 2) blew me away. Immersive, unsettling, every detail pitch perfect - the scientist 'types,' each character convincing in their professional role, the mire of bureaucracy, the building itself... And always shows just the right amount, and no more, for maximum terror. So er you'll have to imagine the Southern Reach building because I drew a lot of bunnies. 🐇🐇🐇 My fav quote: "Whitby chimed in unexpectedly: 'Rabbits have three eyelids and can't vomit.' For a moment Control, startled that Whitby had spoken, assigned more significance to the statement than it deserved." - Authority, Jeff VanderMeer #fanart #jeffvandermeer #southernreach #southernreachtrilogy #annihilation #authority #acceptance #whitbyallen #control #whitby #pencil #watercolour #bunnies #rabbits #illustration #drawing #sff #newweird https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qy6M1An9z/?igshid=35y7umcf2jmn
