Yes he is a really good author, I also loved the Nevernight Chronicles. With the Vampire series he has really raised the bar though, such a fantastic story.

Southern Reach Trilogy
I love the movie for Annihilation, and I saw that before reading any of the books. Having now read the novel, I thoroughly enjoyed it and absolutely rinsed it in a few sittings.
The movie now feels like its own story set within this universe, like it was one of the prior expeditions, rather than a re-telling of the novel. It's a tense and strange read that I was enthralled by throughout.
Now I'm somewhere beyond the halfway point of Authority which is a very different style and about double the size. It's a considerably slower read remaining full of introspection from its lead character and it retains intrigue through an entirely different lense. However, is it as gripping - or even as neat - as the first book? No. Thusly, I've taken this one much more slowly than its predecessor, but I've still been enjoying it.
