Lol good point xD

Yeah I was thinking a break between might be best, give the events time to breath in my mind. I mean the Biologist's final words were something like " Don't follow me. " xD

Hmm, okay thats good to know.

It feels like the creepiness has shifted to more of a humans going crazy and deranged type of thing, rather than cosmic horror, nature watching you kind of thing ? Like event Horizon compared to Alien.

Oh that actually sounds quite wonderful :O

Haha, yeah this is my fear. It's like I would love to delve deeper into this world... But not like this, through the eyes of Agent Smith.. Bring back the Biologist's wide eyed respect for the terrifying beauty of Gaia! Show me plants not piles of files! xD

Lol yeah I havnt ever worked in an office, maybe that's why I'm not picking up on the vibe.

Yeah, I think maybe I could benefit from some time between Annihilation and Authority. Also the fact that the Biologist at the end of the book pretty much says "Don't follow me." I feel like that whole event needs some room to breath in my mind a little while longer.

Yeah, I don't even really think of them as the same characters or events, the Shimmer and Area X are two separate places in my head.

The movie was what made me read the book xD I thought it was really great, I love that they did their own thing, it has its own sinister beauty that works really well, and made the novel still completely fresh.
