After receiving a distress call from a drill team on a distant planet, a skeleton crew is sent into deep space to perform a standard search-and-rescue mission. When they arrive, they find the planet littered with the remains of the project - including its members’ dead bodies. As they try to piece together what could have possibly decimated an entire project, they discover that some things are best left buried - and some monsters are only too ready to awaken.

It is the play of the King in Yellow, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days. The King in Yellow is a collection of stories interwoven loosely by the elements of the play, including the central figure himself.

But the three soon discover that the house is filled with far more than just oddities: It holds clues linking to an alt-Earth called Aurora, where the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley has stormed back to life on a magic-fueled rampage across a surreal, through-the-looking-glass version of Europe replete with talking animals (and vegetables).

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

Nicholas, a would-be poet, and Nakota, his feral lover, discover a strange hole in the storage room floor down the hall - "Black. Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." It begins with curiosity, a joke - the Funhole down the hall. But then the experiments begin. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says "We're not." But they're not in control, not from the first moment, as those experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation.

The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

His fiction is known to be some of the most terrifying in the genre of supernatural horror, but Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction book may be even scarier. Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy.

The darkest “hand on heart” look at existence

Description
The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy.
For 30 years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X - a remote place with lush terrain that is mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez (a.k.a. "Control") is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than 200 hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves - and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve.

Very different from the first book
I absolutely loved the first book in the series so I was a little disappointed when the sequel was a lot slower paced, and focused on a character that I was a lot less invested in. I'm still completely enthralled by the concept and horrific aspects of these books, but this one was a bit more of a grind for sure. Still clever and creepy, but very little actually happens outside of the protagonists head. I still recommend it and can't wait to listen to the 3rd one though. the last few chapters are crazy

I’ll have to give this another read
This is the first time I’m reading (listening) to authority and from what I can recall from others is that you have to read this again to fully understand what is going on. My mind throughout the novel felt all over the place because of how slow paced it felt when control is interviewing the so called “biologist” from the first book. They say there’s a lot of deeper things in this when you give it a second go so I’m going to wait a while before I do that. As a first experience, it’s slow for sure and like the first of the series it picks up near the end when you discover more of the border.

Interesting sequel
Story wise, this second book of the trilogy is quite different from the first but just enough similar too keep you in. I personally was less into the "spy" and "secret service" storyline and there are parts where my interest wane. But the scify/surnatural mystery was weaved in just enough that I kept going.
As a lot middle of three-book series, it feels more a a bridge between the other and end abruptly. so it's tough to judge on its own.
The reading performance is great and set the mood. There are certain parts where it get monotone but it's mainly because the story hit a long passage.

Working for the government in the lowest levels the bureaucratic layers are so perfectly fitting yet with the disturbing foresight of knowing what’s going to happen, it just added layers. I really liked it.

Surreal, Strange, but also familiar
Was worried about the change of Narrators but Bronson Pinchot set a familiar rhythm through the strange and bizarre changes the Southern Reach and Area X are undergoing. He also brought to life the mundane but uniqueness of work and socializing through a new perspective
