I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

Annihilation has some freaky/disturbing unknown structure exploration in it.

Good book, but I found its sequels were disappointingly not worth reading.

Strong disagree, for what it's worth. :-) The 2nd book took awhile to make its way back to the point, but it was on purpose and IMO stuck the landing, and I enjoyed the rest of the ride too.

(I can't speak to the recently released 4th book yet.)

Ive always thought of annihilation as a modern version of the color from space. I havent actually read it though. thanks.
