Annihilation
Featured Listen
Annihilation, the first novel in Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, blends science fiction, horror, and "weird fiction." Released in 2014, it describes Area X, a mysterious and isolated region. The story follows an expedition led by a biologist who explores themes of identity, transformation, and the limits of human understanding.
Featured Article: The Best Audiobook Series of All Time by Genre
What makes a good audiobook series? There are as many answers to this question as there are listeners. For some, it might be epic battles. For others, it might be ongoing romantic twists and tensions. For still others, it might be elongated character studies or an in-depth analysis of a particular time and place. But the universal element of a truly great series is that it sticks with you long after the last word. These are our favorites from every major genre.
